Wagtime 2016
Dear Friend,
I invite you to support the lifesaving work of the Worcester Animal
Rescue League (WARL) while bringing positive publicity to your
business. Enclosed please find sponsorship information for our wellrecognized, annual fundraising gala, Wagtime, to be held at The
Manor in West Boylston on Friday, March 11, 2016.
The 4th annual Wagtime gala brings together animal lovers from near
and far to support and celebrate WARL’s important mission of
improving the lives of animals. By becoming a Wagtime sponsor, we
will proudly promote your business to our more than 15,000
constituents, demonstrating to our community that the treatment
animals receive is an important priority to you and your business.
Founded in 1912, WARL is a private, non-profit, 501(c)(3)
organization that relies completely on our supporters’ donations of
money, time, supplies, homes, and love, for which we are sincerely
grateful. The Worcester Animal Rescue League gives compassion to
every being that turns to us for help, providing shelter and care for
animals, as well as respect and resources for people. In addition to
the 2,500 homeless animals we care for each year, WARL offers
boarding, spay/neuter and vaccine clinics, dog training classes, and
educational programs for the general public.
In the past three years, over $70,000 has been raised at Wagtime, and
each year has been bigger than the last. Join other esteemed local
businesses and become a Wagtime sponsor today. Contact me at any
time by email, by phone, or by completing and mailing back the form
at the end of this packet.
