    Webinar – 11/4/21 – End-of-Year Fundraising: Getting Your Paws on More Money this Year – The AAWA

    Over 30% of annual charitable giving occurs in December. Some nonprofits bring in as much as 50% of their donation income from end-of-year asks. It’s not too late to prepare for the season of giving!

    This webinar will give you specific end-of-year fundraising ideas. Implementing even a couple of the ideas will help you raise more money this year. We will also give you the tools you need to feel confident about your fundraising going into this holiday season.

    Online Event – 11/10/21 – Maddie’s® Candid Conversation with Dr. Michael J. Blackwell, DVM, MPH – Maddie’s Fund

    Please join us for an open, informal 60-minute conversation and Q+A with Dr. Michael J. Blackwell, DVM, MPH.

    As the Director of the Program for Pet Health Equity, College of Social Work at the University of Tennessee, Dr. Blackwell’s self-professed mission is to improve access to veterinary care, especially for families with limited means. He also chairs the Access to Veterinary Care Coalition.

    In this discussion with Maddie’s Fund Executive Leadership Team member Mary Ippoliti-Smith, Dr. Blackwell reflects on growing up in the segregated south and his eye-opening moment when the critical connection between humans and animals became his life calling.

    Dr. Blackwell made history as the first veterinarian to be appointed chief of staff for the Office of the Surgeon General. His professional accomplishments, which span private practice, public health, and education, exemplify the vital roles of veterinarians in society.

    His numerous awards and recognitions – among them the U.S. Public Health Service Distinguished Service Medal (which is the highest personal honor award) – include Maddie’s Fund’s’ 2020 Avanzino Leadership Award for his outstanding dedication to the human-animal bond.

    After the live discussion, continue the conversation with Dr. Blackwell on Maddie’s Pet Forumhttps://maddies.fund/candidconvodrblackwell
