Follow on Google News |  Social Capital Hosts "Party for Paws" on February 23, 2013 at Urban Eatery in UptownJoin Social Capital on February 23 at Urban Eatery on the shores of Lake Calhoun for a "Party for Paws" benefiting three animal-related charities.
By: Social Capital “People have tons of passion around helping their furry friends,” said Emily Shannon, Executive Director of Social Capital. “We've wanted to throw a party that supported three animal-related causes for a long time.” This Social Capital event raises money just like the preceding events—Social Capital lets attendees decide how much money they want to donate and choose what charity gets their donation. Attendees can learn about each charity while at the event and can donate as little or as much as they like. This method has proven successful in the past—attracting hundreds of people and raising thousands of dollars in a single night. This model was born from the idea that there needed toeople to get involved in philanthropy in a simple, fun and affordable way. “The very reason Social Capital exists is because we believe that social networks have power and that gatherings can create change,” said Shannon. “We serve the community with that in mind.” Those interested in learning more about the upcoming event on February 23 are encouraged to visit http://www.iamsocialcapital.org or http://www.facebook.com/ iamsocialcapital for additional information.

The dream of establishing this rescue started back in 2000 when a very special dog, Coco, passed away unexpectedly at age five. The loss inspired Coco’s owner, 12 year-old Ashley, to save other canine friends in his name. In late 2009, the dream started to become a reality. Now a nonprofit organization, CHDR is 501 (c)3 status. The goal of the rescue is to have a facility to house 20 dogs at a time, foster home placement, provide preventative and medical care, basic grooming needs, microchip and a warm and welcoming shelter until a forever placement is secured.
