Each year at Slobberfest, we celebrate all of our Bassetarians by holding a competition to see who has raised the most money (picture is of 2021 trophy).
~ 1st Place receives a one-of-a-kind Clanimalzoo trophy (like the ones shown on this page) valued at $500.00
~ 2nd & 3rd Place receives a gift basket. This basket is a little different each year, but is valued at $100 or more and they also include a Clanimalzoo sculpture.
If you don't think you will be able to raise enough money to place in the top three, don't fret! Anyone who turns in at least $50 in donations will receive a FREE entry into the Slobberfest Ring Games (a $15 value).
Want a little more of a challenge? Anyone who turns in at least $500 in donations will receive a $50 Gift Certificate toward the Clanimalzoo sculpture of your choice!

But I don't like asking people for money!
I cannot think of anyone who likes to ask their family or friends for money, even if it's for a good cause! I know I don't either! But I've decided to become a Bassetarian this year anyway!
So, I've looked at the different ways I could raise money;
~ Ask family and friends for donations
~ Have a sale (bake sale, yard sale, craft sale or plant sale)
~ Place a donation can at a local store
~ Ask your employer if they offer fundraising ideas/help
~ Organize a relay (walk, run or bike)
~ Organize an event (Car Show, Golf Tournament, Pub Crawl, etc...)
~ Hold a public dinner (like spaghetti or BBQ)
~ Start a "Go Fund Me" page and share it on Facebook or other social media
~ Advertise that you will do chores for donations
~ Offer to wrap Christmas presents for donations
~ Put on a White Elephant Auction
~ Ask for donations via Facebook for my birthday!
I am sure there are more ways to raise money, but these are the ones I looked at. Last year I raised close to $200 by putting donation cans around town and $70 on Facebook for my birthday! I know that's not enough to win first place, but I will be able to enter my dog into the Center Ring Games for free!!
Please Note: If you do choose to ask your friends and family for money, make sure they know that for every $5.00 donation they give, their name is put into a raffle to win a $50 Gas Gift Card! PLUS all donations are tax deductible!
