It was big, it was hairy, it was great!
RAGOM extends a gigantic “Thank you!” to everyone who attended, donated, participated, or volunteered to make Goldzilla 2019 a success. Despite the rain it was a wonderful day and we are thrilled that so many people and dogs braved the weather to join the fun.
Goldzilla is our biggest fundraiser and a significant portion of our annual budget. We’re adding up walk pledges, sponsorships, raffle ticket and silent auction sales, merchandise and concessions sales, and other donations. Not only did we meet our $87,000 goal, we exceeded it—preliminary results show we raised more than $90,000!
On behalf of all the dogs who count on RAGOM for help, thank you. You’ll make many dogs smile.
