Swiss Lick Swissies Canine Cancer Fund!

[mezmerelda]

Many of you are aware of this already, so I'm sorry for the repeat.

Since losing Gryffin to cancer in January, we’ve felt as if we need to do something more to help with the fight against cancer.


Dan and I are already involved in with a few charities that fund cancer research for humans. I’ve even participated in a couple events for canine cancer. Well, now it’s personal, so we need to take the next step.


Along came the Swiss Lick Swissies Canine Cancer Fund. It’s not an official organization. We don’t have a 501(c)3 designation. If this gets big enough, I will get one. Right now, we are fundraising for organizations the DO have their 501(c)3, like the National Canine Cancer Foundation (NCCF).
The NCCF is an organization that helps fund the important research grants that will eventually (hopefully) find a cure. Or at least get us closer to a cure. Here is their Mission statement, copied directly from their website.


The National Canine Cancer Foundation is a nationwide, contribution funded, 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to eliminating Cancer as a major health issue in dogs by funding grants directly to Cancer researchers who are working to save lives, find cures, better treatments and accurate, cost effective diagnostic methods in dealing with canine Cancer.

The purpose of the Foundation’s Research Grant Program is to encourage and provide grant support for basic, pre-clinical and clinical research in high impact and innovative cancer research, which is intended to develop innovative approaches to a cure, treatment, diagnosis or prevention of cancers in dogs. The program fosters collaboration between basic and clinical scientists with the intent of enhancing the transfer of basic research findings to clinical usefulness.

So, as of now, we have a store on Zazzle with a few cool shirts for you to purchase!





I hope to be adding some additional colors and styles shortly, and maybe a few other non-shirt products as well. Please consider purchasing one if you have some spare cash!

[Baroooo]

And Ptoby and Solly too!

[Lora]

OMG i love it!!!! I definitely want one!

[mezmerelda]

Thank you, Karen, for the wording on the back! Without you, I'd have something back there that made no sense at all.

[mezmerelda]

I posted a male and female version of a ringer shirt, plus a travel/coffee mug. Thanks to those that have already supported!

[SapheraGirl]

Ohhhh, I can't wait to shop and purchase my stuff tomorrow. YEA! Shopping and helping a great cause at the same time. What could be better?!

[Itsapyr]

I just went in to Abby's NCCF to check on something and Gryff's page was listed on the NCCF home page.
Here is Gryff link... http://wearethecure.org/friends/swis...ies-p-466.html

This way if you ever have a few extra dollars that you just don't know what to do with you can contribute directly.
Oh yeh, Abby has a page too :-)

[mezmerelda]

Why don't you post Abby's page?

[Itsapyr]

Why don't you post Abby's page?

I wouldn't do that without asking :-)

[mezmerelda]

Please post it.

[Itsapyr]

Hey we finally got to our mail today and my SwissLickie shirt is here. I love it. It will definitely go with me to Boston in June!

[mezmerelda]

Yay!

I think I may open up a couple of other online stores to get different shirt options. Zazzle's are fine, but I've found a few other options that I like through Cafe Press and Printfection.

[Dinero]

I love the shirt! I will definitely be grabbing one. I lost my 4 year old weim to cancer and also am a swissy owner. I would be glad to support the cause

[Cole's Mom]

Just ordered my t-shirt. Can't wait to wear it in support!

[mezmerelda]

Thank you!
