Frosty Tales ❄️
We turned cold days into something meaningful for Animal Haven. Selling crochet animals, bracelets, and adoptable snow bunnies. To bring a bit of winter wonderland to James Madison while also raising money for a good cause. Also, a shoutout to the James Madison Crochet Club for making our quickest-selling items yet!

AMA Animal Shelter 🍪
When AMA Animal Shelter needed help fast, we didn’t hesitate. Through multiple bake sales, we didn’t just sell cookies but also raised as much as we could to support their fight to stay open. Even though we didn’t hit the full goal, we played a real role in keeping their mission alive.

Duck for Donations 🦆
Our mini duck fundraiser raised nearly $500 for Animal Care Centers of NYC, helping animals find homes while people adopted and named their own miniature ducks. It was the beginning of RTL, and our ducks still linger throughout James Madison High School

Why It Matters
Where Your Money Goes

Medical Care
Rescued animals often arrive injured or sick. Your donations help fund vet treatment and rehabilitation.
🍽️
Food & Shelter
Local rescue orgs provide safe sanctuaries for animals in need. Keeping them running takes ongoing community support.
🏠
Forever Homes
Funds help rescue orgs connect animals with loving families through adoption and fostering programs.
