Unchain the 50! Update
We currently have 22 States participating in Chain Off 2007: Unchain the 50! with 34 volunteers being chained. We Can Do IT!
Come on, everyone, if your state is not represented, consider
representing it today, (in your own yard is fine), or come be chained
with us in Atlanta or Seattle.
There are 6 people so far being chained in Atlanta, and 3 in Seattle, representing various states.
Make
sure to visit the Unchain the 50 page to see which states are
represented, and in which cities our volunteers will be chained. If
there is someone chaining themselves near you, please contact them to
be chained with them, see if they need help, or even provide a visit
from you for moral support. It's not easy to take a stand such as this
one, if you don't feel able to do it yourself, please provide support
to someone near you who is doing it.
Be sure to sponsor an hour or more for YOUR favorite chaining volunteer! The volunteer who brings in the most sponsor money will get a $100 gift certificate to our DDB Cafepress store,
and the state that brings in the most sponsor money will win a Dogs
Deserve Better billboard to be placed in a location of heavy chaining
in that state, so get in there and sponsor your favorites today.
