Jordan’s Way Fundraiser Event

Clifford’s Army Rescue is partnering with Kris Rotonda from Jordan’s Way for our biggest
fundraiser yet!
We are trying to reach a goal of $15,000, which would allow us to save 100’s of more lives
this year! We are seeking donations to help us reach this goal and to be used as matching
donations during our LIVE Facebook Fundraiser on Monday, May 19th, 6 pm to 9 pm.
Match donations will be used to help encourage more donors to help meet that amount,
doubling our efforts to raise funds! For example, if you are able to provide a match
donation of $500, then during the Live event, ALL donations up to $500 will be matched
by YOUR company! This is a unique opportunity for your business to pay it forward and
receive the best kind of PR all at once! Your company will receive recognition on
Facebook Live, being shown & shouted out to not only our local community, but an
international following of almost 1 million followers of Jordan’s Way!
We are also looking for volunteers to participate in our LIVE Fundraiser! I promise, it’s
fun like you’ve never had before! Jordan’s Way fundraisers are an exciting combination
of a Jerry Lewis Telethon mixed with a Nickelodeon episode. Think: fun gimmicks and
stunts like pie throwing, tortilla slaps, ice buckets, food challenges, and, of course,
slime! They have also influenced thousands of adoptions by shedding a much needed
happy light on rescue animals that often get overlooked and in our care for extended
periods of time. It’s not just about raising much needed funds for their care, but being
able to show their true personality with people they know & trust; sometimes they just
need to be given a chance!
Anything helps,  if you’re up for it, come on down to participate in the fun! There are so
many ways to help, even if it’s just sharing our donation link (included below) on your
social media platforms to help us reach a bigger audience! We support the animals in your community and now is your chance to support us!

Below is our link to our fundraiser.  Contribute if you can and come join the fun while helping those with no voice.

WE NEED YOU!

Many of you know that we were blessed with a donation of 26 plus acres and several buildings recently.   This will be the future home of Clifford’s Army Rescue.   Currently we have over 100 dogs in our foster based rescue.  25 of those dogs are in boarding which we pay for every two weeks.  Our boarding bill for those dogs is over 3K every two weeks.   The other dogs are in foster care, with our fosters doubled and tripled up.   There is such a need in our area, that we have quickly gotten to a point we have no more room at the inn.

Our solution is to get our property cleaned up, repaired and renovated.  We have done a lot on the clean up side taking out dumpster after dumpster of trash.   We have repaired what we can.  Now comes the renovating.  First on the list is new roofs.  The large building where we want to put our kennels, inside play yards and more is the most expensive.  The lowest estimate is $400,000.    The office building is a bit over $100,000.   We have to get the buildings in the dry first.  Then we will have to rewire both of these buildings.   Much of the wires have been stripped out.  We assume people were hunting copper.    After wiring we then have to check our water, plumbing, etc.    After that we would need to seal the floors, put in drains, and put up the kennels.  Fortunately we had an awesome donor who donated many kennels to us.

We do have an architect working on a rendering of the transformation.   You can help us to help so many more animals in need.   If you are on any social media pages, you see how many animals are literally being dumped on the side of the road.   Our phone rings constantly.  Our email blows up daily.  Text messages, messenger , our webpage and facebook are flooded every day.   Its either a stray it horrible condition that has been dumped, someone wanting to “get rid” of their companion animals, or ones roaming that no one knows how they came to have to try and fend for themselves.  We are saddened that we have come to a point we have to say no many times due to lack of a place to place the animal while he/she heals and gets ready for adoption.  While we continue to try and help these animals in need by contributing to vetting, many times the finders cannot keep.

We will also continue to help the community with our low cost mobile spay/neuter where financial help is available.  Our low cost microchip clinics, and our free pet food drive throughs.   We hope to give away food more ofter working toward a monthly food drive through.

WE NEED YOU!   Can you donate?  No amount is too small!  We have several avenues you can donate through.  We can even take stock.

Can you foster?  The more fosters, the more dogs we can take in.

Can you volunteer?  The more volunteers the more events we can hold bringing awareness, educating and helping adoptions.

Can you share on social media? Share dogs up for adoption, looking for fosters, fundraisers and more

Can you attend or help with fundraisers?  We have dinners, golf tournament, bicycle poker run,  and more events you can participate in

Please help us to be able to help many, many more animals in need.  Once our facility is completely renovated we can do so much more for the animals in our county and beyond.   You can help us to help those with no voice.

If you prefer snail mail our address is CARE, Post Office Box 370, Earl, NC 28038
