Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi all, if you're looking for an opportunity to meet others who care for animals while raising money for an organization helping farmed animals, please see Adrienne's email below about getting a team together to participate in the Farm Sanctuary walkathon this weekend. Big thanks to Adrienne for leading this effort! All proceeds benefit Farm Sanctuary. Cheers, Tammy On Behalf Of AdrienneWednesday, October 01, 2008 5:32 PM ; Subject: Participate in/Sponsor the Walk for the Farm Animals with the Bay Area Vegetarians Team Hi Everyone Many animals raised for food cannot walk. Chickens who lay eggs are crammed into cages so small that they don't have space to lift one wing, much less walk. Pigs and veal calves are confined in narrow pens. The SF Walk for Farm Animals is an annual event which supports Farm Sanctuary's http://www.walkforfarmanimals.org rescue and protection campaigns. "The Tender Piglets" is the team name for the Bay Area Vegetarians this year. All funds go directly to Farm Sanctuary (Bay Area Vegetarians is participating as a team in the event; we do not receive any funding from this effort.) What: Walk for Farm Animals with BAVeg! Oct. 12 Time: Registration 10:30 a.m., Walk 11:00 am Location: 1 Ferry Building Cost: $15 registration (includes walk t-shirt) (if you register on the spot it will be $20 and there may be no t-shirts left). Please register asap online per first giving link provided below!!Host: Adrienne Map/location: http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=navclient & ie=UTF-8 & rlz=1T4SUNA_enUS251US261 & um=1 & q=1+Ferry+Building,+San+Francisco,+CA & fb=1 & cid=0,0,16454765922473766453 & sa=X & oi=local_result & resnum=1 & ct=image RSVP: http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.htm?EID=1990#1990Full Details: http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.htm?EID=1990#1990 These are the individuals who have signed-up online as part of BAVeg's "The Tender Piglets" team: Adrienne Guy, Alicia Robb, Kyle Wardstrom If you can't participate in the walk, please consider supporting the efforts of someone participating in the walk! You can use the link below to pledge online, or send a check to sponsor someone .... like us! 1) Go to the team page http://www.firstgiving.com/process/teamarea/default.asp?did=1910 & TeamId=51120 & EventId=37446 2) Join the team/register (see "get started" link on above page) 3) Send an email to their family/friends to request their support 4) Have fun at the walk! Note about the team title: I've gotten some feedback about the team name and some love it, others don't, so I've kept it in the end. Other suggestions were: Victorious Vegans, Rescue Rangers, Voracious Vegans, and Animals Are Friends, Not Food. In the end I decided to keep "The Tender Piglets" (having switched back from "The Freedom Loving Tender Piglets") because I do think the name captures the gentle adorableness and innocence of the baby piglets and through them the plight of billions of farm animals raised for food around the world each year. ..Sincerely, Adrienne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
