We currently have two fundraiser patches available (Chronological Order):
F*ck Cancer Patches
This fundraiser was created by Cunning Linguist. The primary purpose of the fundraiser is to cover airfare for volunteer caregivers to help take care of IV whilst she’s undergoing chemo (and recovery periods after her many surgeries) as well as when Epi needs to travel for his job. She is experiencing on-going cognitive and neurological issues which necessitate caregivers outside of chemo. With Lynch Syndrome, it's more of a question of when she has an additional form of cancer as opposed to if. We have used some of the funds to purchase her a wheelchair and an ambulatory rollator, as well as some chemo-friendly clothing that can withstand heavy laundering. We will also provide funds to defray the costs of a non-FDA-approved medication she needs to order from Canada in order to help her eat without pain or vomiting. Any funds leftover from airfare and previously mentioned costs will be given to Epi & IV to use at their discretion for any cancer-related expenditures they may have that are not covered by IV's insurance.
Here is a list of what the design elements of the patch represent:
Kennel name in rainbow letters represents well-wishes/hope
Yellow circle in the middle represents the sun and signifies 'one day at a time'
'Fuck Cancer' focused in the centre of the patch in kennel colours (purple and green) symbolic of BDH3’s support and hash love for IV
ODH Patches
IV set up this fundraiser prior to being diagnosed with cancer and Lynch Syndrome. This charity is very dear to her and it is in her honour that we continue with her plans.
ABOUT THE CHARITY:
Old Dog Haven is a non-profit organization that assists private owners, shelters, and rescues find homes for senior dogs in need. Their mission is to “place them in a home where they will spend the last part of their lives as cherished family pets, receive good vet care, and die knowing they are loved.”
“Most dogs we take in are too old or medically fragile for adoption. ODH is often their last hope. Caring for them can be challenging, but it is very rewarding.”
The BDH3 Fur Baby Love Logo will be available on items in our online store; however the only way to get it in patch form is to buy one from the fundraiser.
Our Fundraiser Patches are available on our Kennel Patch Order Form: BDH3 Patches for Sale
Please see our XXXtra Announcements subpage for our newest Fundraiser Patch. It is currently being kept separately with its own special form as we are collecting donation hash names for publication, as we previously did with the other fundraiser patches when they were launched.
