Exciting News From ADOPT

ADOPT received an offer from a large donor, MHS Legacy Group. As a result of their involvement another donor has stepped forward,

McCarthy Brothers. This is huge! McCarthy is the 5th largest commercial construction company in America with over 3.5 billion in annual revenues. ADOPT is moving forward and here are the details of the facility as it stands at the moment……………

The facility will be state of the art sustainable or “green” that will seek Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (L.E.E.D.) certification. Ours will be the first all “green” animal facility in the area. The size will be around 10,000 sf designed for expansion with a partial masonry exterior. The shell of the building will be highly insulated to meet L.E.E.D. standards. The roof will be either reflective or photovoltaic panels. The interior will be constructed out of sustainable products that do not emit volatile organic compounds therefore preventing the spread of disease. ADOPT has already secured the building design from Arcturis for architecture design, Trumpet Land Services for civil engineering, Trumpet Builder’s for L.E.E.D. project management, McCarthy Brother’s Industrial (MCI) for general contracting services as well as many other contractors and subcontractors. All of the above are planning to break ground this summer or early fall. However this is based on one factor. Once the plans are finished we will be able to estimate the cost over and beyond the donations from the above companies. Even though the above companies will be donating their time, products or services there will still be major costs involved. Unless we come up with the additional expenses we will have to delay the start of the facility and unfortunately we may lose the above offers. This is a golden opportunity at the moment and one that offers hundreds of thousands in donations. For that reason I am pleading with everyone to please donate your time and money to help us raise money for JC’s new rescue and adoption facility for our homeless pets. Here are ways you can get involved.
Please come to our largest fundraiser, the 2nd annual silent/oral dinner auction April 17th. I have attached the formal invitation for you to print. Please invite your friends and family. This is really a fun time with fantastic food, great music, new and exciting silent, oral, and raffle donations along with unique attendance prizes and of course Tony La Russa.
Please consider giving it you’re all and become a sponsor. This is a once in a life time opportunity for any sports lover and maybe the last time we see Tony. Please see the above invitation for details.
Please pass this e-mail to everyone you know and invite them to the auction. Get a table together and have a great time. We could still use donations like wine and cheese baskets, bottles of wine or other alcoholic beverages, food baskets (for example pasta baskets), gift certificates, ball tickets, sports memorabilia. We need it all!
Other ways to help, for example, would be getting your children involved by having a car wash or bake sale. Please get your church involved. Consider asking your place of employment to donate to ADOPT. As a result of someone asking their boss to meet ADOPT we received the help from one of the above donors and the list is still growing.
Once again, let’s not lose this opportunity. If we cannot come up with the expenses we lose it all. It is now up to all of you! See you on the 17th!
