Omaha Gives! Online Giving Day, May 20th, 2015

Thank you GRRIN supporters for your outstanding participation in Omaha Gives! We met our goal and raised $5032 just before midnight with the help of several last-minute donors. Your donations will help us cover extraordinary medical care needed for GRRIN foster dogs.  A list of donors can be found in our 2nd Quarter 2015 newsletter.

Thanks also to the humans and canines who braved the cold and came out to Julio’s to celebrate Omaha’s biggest giving day!  Foster dog Goldie, and adopted dogs Ellie and Belle, thought the temperature was perfect – check out those smiles!
