Willow donates proceeds from calendar sale to Empire Animal Rescue Society

We hit a new record of money raised for Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) through Willow calendars! This year we raised $1,200 … beating the last two years of $1,000! We couldn't have done it without all the amazing community support. Thank you to everyone who bought a calendar, donated a little extra and helped spread the word to help us reach a new goal for this awesome animal rescue.
Why do we do this? Because rescues like EARS don't receive any government funding and rely solely on donations and their fundraising efforts to be able to provide care for neglected, homeless and abused animals in our region and beyond. They would not be able to do the selfless, tireless work they do without the support of a community. They work on a volunteer basis because they have a love for animals and it is truly hard and dedicated work.
We not only do this to raise funds, but to raise awareness and we are grateful for everyone's support. Thank you all and thank you BioDome Project, Sunshine Health & Wellness, ellicottvilleNOW and PaNDaGOAT Media for repping calendars at your businesses!
If you didn't get a calendar and would still like one, check out createphotocalendars.com/store/willow. The money raised still goes to EARS. Or you can donate directly through their site at empirerescue.org.
