Hi!
Bill here. I just entered Ella in the Orvis Cover Dog Photo Contest
Now I need your vote to help me raise critical funds for the Canine Cancer Campaign.
To enter the photo contest, I submitted this picture and wrote a few nice words about Ella. The Orvis panel of judges will decide which lucky dog will appear on their catalog cover, but you can vote for this photo online to help raise funds for the Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) Canine Cancer Campaign. Orvis and Eukanuba Dog Food have teamed up with MAF to help save countless dogs from suffering and premature death. Votes only cost $1, and Orvis and Eukanuba, together, will match your contribution to the Canine Cancer Campaign up to a total of $30,000. So, every dollar you donate becomes $2 for the Canine Cancer Campaign.
Please go here to vote for Ella's photo to help fund life-saving cancer research.
I'd appreciate your vote and donation today, but if you'd like to enter your own dog in the contest, then please do - we can handle some friendly comPETition! And if you want to stay on top of how Ella is doing in the contest, visit the Search Dogs page and search for Ella by name.
Enter your dog in the contest and donate to vote today. You may enter the contest until January 24, 2010.
Sincerely,
Bill
