Holiday with the HUmane Society Fundraising and Adoption Event

Coeur d'Alene, ID — It's going to be a merry Christmas for Weasley the orange tabby.  The 11-year-old feline has been in Kootenai Humane Society since Nov. 1, after his owner passed away.  But thanks to a little girl with a big heart for animals, Weasley will be warm and happy on the laps of his new owners on Christmas Day. Burton adopted Weasley in the Silver Lake Mall on Wednesday during "Holiday with the Humane Society," a pet adoption and fundraising event for KHS organized by 9-year-old Katherine Reiswig of Coeur d'Alene. Burton said Weasley would be a gift to her parents, who are quite fond of Mr. Snuggles. Now they will have their own orange cat to love.  www.fundraising-ideas.org

24 Hour Runathon Fundraisers in Three Cities to Fight Human Trafficing

Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong - Imagine teenagers running from their captors for days after being forced to work in sweatshops against their will, away from their homes and families.  This is the message some 2,000 students from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong wanted to get across in the 24 Hour Race events, held simultaneously in all three cities.  What was unique about this fundraising event was that it was fully organized from start to finish by the students themselves, with minimal guidance from the 24 Hour Race headquarters in Hong Kong and was completely funded through corporate sponsorship.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
