Over the past year, I’ve had the same idea pop into my head again and again: what if we shared simple, fun ways for everyone to help fundraise? Not complicated, not expensive — just joyful activities that bring people (and dogs!) together while supporting the animals we care so much about.

So… here we go!

If you love

• – seeing happy dogs
• – organizing friendly get-togethers
• – seeing people smile
• – supporting Les Amis

…then I have some fun(d)raising inspiration for you.

Let me take you through my year of FUN(D)activities — hopefully it sparks ideas for your own events. And don’t worry, I’ve got your back. If you ever need help or want to brainstorm, simply message me!

Here’s what my year looked like:

• January – “Snert Walk” (Dutch soup)
• February – Valentine Special
• March – Community Walk
• April – Easter Special
• May – CJ’s Barkday Pawty
• September – Walk
• October – Walk
• November – Howl-O-Ween Special
• December – Christmas Wreath-Making
• December – Christmas Special

And throughout the year:

Les Amis president Lynn joins my weekly dog classes, and I donate 50% of her class fee straight to Les Amis.

Is it a lot of work? Yes.

Does it take time? Also yes.

Does it cost a little? Sometimes.

Is it rewarding? Absolutely — every single time
