Paper paws for a cause

Our hospital is a nonprofit clinic, and we're always looking for ways to build our Guardian Angel fund to help families who may not be able to afford pet care. Last fall we started selling paper paw prints. When a client buys a paw print, we write the pet's name on it and post it on the clinic wall. The prints cost $1, but clients can give any amount. One client even donated $50! It's like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and our clients enjoy looking for their paw when they visit, knowing they've help build our fund.
