On Wednesday I joined HAWS' Mobile Adoptions Coordinator Lisa on a field trip to Arrowhead High School. As you may have read in a past blog, the AHS DECA students decided to raise money and awareness for HAWS as part of their homecoming celebration, "Hawkfest."
The students and their faculty advisor presented HAWS with a check for $2000! Pictured at left are several of the DECA members, their faculty advisor Steve, HAWS adoptable puppy Trick and Lisa - gladly accepting this truly "big" check.
We are honored and excited to work with groups on events - the Arrowhead DECA group being a shining example of what can be accomplished. The students did all the "heavy lifting" so to speak - as Lisa said, we just showed up at Hawkfest with our adoptables and had a great time!
Thank you, Arrowhead High School DECA students for making us a part of your 2010 Hawkfest. You did a phenomenal job with your event and we were proud to join in the fun. Moms and dads, the kids are more than alright - they're awesome. Just ask us at HAWS and we'll attest. Youth rocks!
By the way - if you'd like to do a "fun"draiser for HAWS or have the Mobile Adoptions Center visit your business, event, festival or meeting, please contact us. Lisa can be reached at mobile@hawspets.org or at 262-542-8851, x201. Be sure to schedule early...dates are filling quickly.
