Volunteers for Rebuild Hi-Tor are doing an incredible job with special events and general fundraising - we just keep getting closer to our goal! The Fundraising Committee reported totals in excess of $12,000 just for the month of May, excluding tabling events, which are also very profitable. Thank you to everyone who organized, attended or supported one of our events or fundraisers. Together we WILL be the change for Rockland’s lonely pets!

On April 6th, friends of felines (and canines) flipped for Flip’n Dip’s frozen treats.Thanks to owner Lauren Olsen, who says she’s planning on doing

another fundraiser during the summer. 10% of the days revenues were donated.Visit Flip’n Dip at 228 E Route 59 in Nanuet (in the Kohl’s Shopping Center).

On April 13th, Rebuild held the first annual “Rock the Rebuild” 5k race. Paws up for Erin Gilbreth and Kathy Payne of Moms in Motion for organizingthis successful event which raised $5000! There was no pussy-footin’ around, as 170 runners started out on the brisk Saturday morning for a great run around beautiful Rockland Lake. Rockland County Legislator Ed Day dropped by for a meet and greet as well as NYS Senator

David Carlucci who also took part in the run. Martin Morales was the top male finisher at 16:45 and Amy Brown was the top female finisher at 20:14.

On April 13th and 14th, Just Buns held another “Dine and Donate” event for Rebuild.Thanks to owner Dana Taaffe Reyes for her consistent support of Rebuild Hi-Tor.Her swirly buns make an excellent hostess or thank yougift, and Dana will send them fresh anywhere you want. They’re simply swirlylicious! They even make buns for dogs, as seen below, being enjoyed by Scrabble Ferreira.

MAY 5th

The Fundraising Committee’s next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 13th at 6:30pm in the New City Library Meeting Room. If you have any ideas or events in mind, please e-mail Andy Schwartz at AndyS@rebuildhitor.org to discuss them.

DATE CHANGE! Our “Rebuild for the Animals” Walk-a-Thon is in the works and planned for Sunday July 21, 2013 at Rockland Lake. Stay tuned for more info!

BOWLING FUNDRAISER FORM

Founded in 1973, Hi-Tor Animal Care Center, Inc. is a privately incorporated, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and improving animal life, promoting responsible pet adoption and ownership, and providing humane treatment for all animals in its care. The facility is the only animal shelter in Rockland County and takes in approximately 2,500 animals annually.

The current shelter has long outlived its usefulness, and a county-wide effort to build an adequate facility, for the animals that look to us for protection, is underway.

With the help of residents, local businesses and corporate donations from the top businesses in the Rockland County area, we hope to raise approximately $700,000 to fund the cost of building a new shelter with modern facilities for the abandoned and unwanted animals throughout the county. Our goal is to break ground in the spring of 2013, with zero cost to the County of Rockland.

There are so many ways to help! Find our page at facebook.com/RebuildHiTorAnimalShelter
