The EQUUS Foundation ROARs With Social Media—Share the Link and Give Horses a Voice!
WESTPORT, CT - September 17, 2012 - Forty-four days remain until Animal Planet’s R.O.A.R (Reach Out. Act. Respond) matching campaign will come to a close. As the newest member of the matching campaign, the EQUUS Foundation is working diligently with Animal Planet to get Helping Horses Heal People’s name and mission out there to help raise money throughout the eight-week campaign.
Let's put Horses at the top of the R.O.A.R leader board by sharing our campaign via Facebook.
Currently, the EQUUS Foundation is leading the way with social media for September, already accumulating over 180 shares. With your help, the EQUUS Foundation can earn the additional monthly $2,500 bonus for having the most shares and giving the loudest R.O.A.R.
That means $5,000 and all it takes is a click of a button to give back to these gentle giants!
Simply share the link with all of your friends and family to give the horses a voice: http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalgiving.org%2Fprojects%2Frescue-retrain-and-re-home-horses-to-heal-people%2F&t=Rescue%2C+Retrain+%26+Re-Home+Horses+to+Heal+People,
