You could of donated that to Trina & I would of matched it to the shelter!

Don't you guys get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donate to Trina & I'll match to Trina & the 3 shelters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arnie, your generosity is unmatched, and I do believe people 'get it' and hopefully will still take you up on your generous offer. Perhaps in this case these donors wanted to ensure the full amount of their donation went directly to Coco's instead of it being divided 3 ways among the shelters--I don't know this for sure, of course, just speculating.

I think people might want to be sure they get their names in the hat for our raffle... Figure how to corner that angle and they may be more inclined to go the Arnie route.

We will ask that should we raffle this off to one of our donors and they cannot use it, that they allow us to re-raffle it to someone who can.
Wow...that is super generous! I can't believe more people don't want the chance to 'win' the 2 nights at Azul Fives! Donate 500USD and win a vacation worth almost twice that amount...

Here's some info on Azul Fives:

Activities and special experiences foster togetherness for families, couples and groups of friends. This 360-suite hotel offers the renowned Gourmet Inclusive® concept with almost everything you could possibly want included. Private barbecues highlight family activities, the exclusive Family & Friends Vacation Planner coordinates family reunions, and the Kid’s Club sponsored by Fisher-Price® caters to children. Beachfront Sky Massages appeal to couples, while Rooftop Weddings inspire soon-to-be-married couples. The 24-hour room service, fantastic food and beverage selections and full-service concierge ensure a complete and memorable vacation experience.

As yet MORE incentive...Russell and I will also raffle off a gift certificate for a meal at Carboncitos restaurant to one of our generous donors.

And don't forget--if we raise the most money, the 3 day/2 night all-inclusive stay at the luxurious Azul Fives resort we will win will ALSO be raffled off at random to one of our sponsors.

Wow Oh Wow!!!! Heather & Russell, you two Koolfer Kats are way COOL!!! I'll be sending dinero after this email. Your "second raffle" is so darn cool & I'm a gambling kind of girl! I know it's all win-win as the money goes to a fabulous organization that is making a huge difference in Playa!

Thanks a million for your incredible support!!!

Love ya!
Maureen

P.S. Russell, it was great to see you on the bus! My grand daughter & I had breakfast at Carboncitos. She officially announced that you guys have the BEST pancakes & bananas in town!!! We fed some of our left overs to a cat down the street with a tipped ear (the international sign we use to indicate sterilization). I was quite proud to tell her that Coco's treated that cat & that she would not have any sick, hungry babies and that we provide food. Yes...that is true, Coco's for three years have been spaying & neutering cats in town & providing food. Feral cats live an average of 4 to 5 years & they are living great lives, but not contributing to the population. It's working! This along with our business model at the Coco's Clinic is good! For the record our spay/neuter operations are 50/50 between dogs & cats.. I am sincerely proud of what is being accomplished & what we can continue to do!!!! Thanks Russel & Heather this is the longest "PS" I have ever written,but my heart was leading me!! ....and well it leads to your good intentions! Your really KOOLFER intentions!!

Huge shoutouts to Transit, JillyinMN, Kathy Webb, and our own SHAMMY for supporting Team KoolferKats!

You are all automatically entered into the raffle for the Carboncitos gift certificate and if we raise more money than other teams, you'll also be entered to win the 3 day/2 night stay at Azul Fives.

Nine more days to reach our goal of 750 usd!! We're at about 300 usd so far...I think we can do it!

High Fives going out to SandraJayne, Karen K., Barbara, and ARNIE for their awesome sponsorship of Team KoolferKats!

Seven more days for us to reach our goal--which is to be the team that raises the most money in sponsorship so that WE win the 3 days/2 night stay at Azul Fives all-inclusive resort. Remember, if we win this, we're turning right back around and raffling this stay off to one of our generous sponsors to say 'thank you' for your support.

Even if we're NOT the team who raises the most money (impossible!), we'll still be raffling off at random to one of our sponsors a gift certificate for Carboncitos restaurant.

This is win/win, people. Do you have what it takes to be on the side that's WINNING? I think you do.
