Holiday On-Line Auction supporting SPIN

Get ready for another amazing online auction!!  If you thought the selections of the previous auctions were fabulous, well, this one is even better! Running from November 21 at noon to November 29 at 9:00 pm, with all proceeds going to the poodles in our care, we urge you to join the Auction Page in order to bid.  The auction can be found at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.286912809109846&type=3  Items for this auction will be in the album called " Pre-Christmas Auction 2020 ".  If you are on Mobile device and the link doesn't take you to the right page in the Facebook app, then in app search for the group "SPIN Standard Poodles in Need Auction and Fundraising Group" and you will find it.  Go to the "Pre-Christmas Auction 2020" photo album to see all the items in the current auction.  The items up for auction are being added as we speak, so you can get an advance peek at some items.  But note that bidding doesn't start until November 21st at noon!

We ask you to paw-lease share the page, invite your contacts to "like" the group's page, and take part in the auction as well. Sign up now to the group before the gavel comes down and everything is GOING, GOING, GONE!

If you have not participated in an online auction before, don't worry, the process is pretty simple. Just go to the photo of the item you want to bid on, and enter a new comment on the photo containing the amount you are bidding.  Please enter your bid as a brand new comment, and do not enter your bid as a reply from someone else’s bid - bids as replies are too hard to track and thus are not accepted. ALSO ... don’t forget to join the auction group before bidding, otherwise we cannot tag you to let you know if you have won an item !

Fundraiser for SPIN - Shop On Line

EASY FUNDRAISING FOR SPIN!

SPIN has a way to raise funds just by shopping on line.  Just do one little extra step prior to your regular on-line shopping, and SPIN will make money.  At no cost to you!  If you buy a gift card, you get a gift card for the exact amount that you pay - you do not pay extra and no funds are taken off.  If you buy an item, you pay only the item's cost.  It starts with our fundraising page, and goes from there.  Below explains various options on how to use the link:  (https://www.flipgive.com/…/162062-standard-poodles-in-…/home)

Option 1)  Eating Out. 

Will you be eating out as the holidays approach? I know I will. If you plan in advance to pay with a gift card purchased through our fundraising site, SPIN gets funds donated and you don't pay anything extra! The Ultimate dining card gives back 7% (valid at Swiss Chalet, Kelsey's, Montana's, East Side Mario's, and many more locations).  Jack Astor's gives back 10%.  The Keg gives back 5%.   So ... if you buy a $100 gift card at Jack Astor's, SPIN will get $10.  AMAZING!  Others are available too, including the Keg and Starbucks!!  To buy a gift card and get funds to SPIN, go to our fundraising page (https://www.flipgive.com/…/162062-standard-poodles-in-…/home) and then navigate to the gift cards (click Browse then click Gift Cards). Once you purchase, voila, SPIN gets a donation. And you get a gift card valued for the amount that you spent on it! No deductions!

Option 2) Shopping Gift Cards! 

Are you going to be doing online shopping for Black Friday or the upcoming holidays? If so, how about purchasing a gift card through SPIN's fundraiser site and then paying with the gift card? It requires NO EXTRA SPENDING on your part, and can give up to 20% of the value of the card to SPIN. You just have to be organized enough to get the card first!  To buy a gift card and get funds to SPIN, go to our fundraising page (https://www.flipgive.com/…/162062-standard-poodles-in-…/home) and then navigate to the gift cards (click Browse then click Gift Cards). Once you purchase, voila, SPIN gets a donation. And you get a gift card valued for the amount that you spent on it! No deductions!

Option 3) Shopping On Line! 

You can also use the page to navigate to many major retailers such as Amazon, Indigo, Under Armour, Expedia, Air Canada, etc..  To use this option, first go to the fundraising page (https://www.flipgive.com/…/162062-standard-poodles-in-…/home).  Then search for or otherwise navigate to the store you want to shop at.  Click the link and that store's website will open.  Log in to your store account if needed.  Do your shopping, and after the purchase, SPIN will get a percentage back (actual percentage depends on the retailer and what is purchased).  Note that in some instances, you have to start from scratch to find things - for Amazon, for example, items in your "Saved for Later" or already in your cart, will not earn funds for SPIN.  AND if you pay for your order with a gift card you purchased under option 2, SPIN gets money twice - once for the card purchase and once for the item purchase.  WIN WIN!
