Dogs For The Deaf Winners | KDRV
A local non-profit received $45,000 today for placing in the top 100 of a Chase Bank Facebook campaign.
Dogs For The Deaf finished 19th of 100 organizations competing across the United States. Just a few months ago, Dogs For The Deaf officials decided to enlist in the Chase Community Giving Program, never expecting to gain thousands of fans in support of their cause.
Amongst bank employees, dog trainers, and even local government officials, $45,000 was handed to dogs for the deaf. This spring the non-profit enrolled and brought in over 6,000 votes on their site. They are one of four in Oregon to place in the top 100.
The Chase page has drawn over 2.8 million Facebook users. Bank officials say the competition helped the non-profit more than just financially.
Dogs are housed, fed and trained at the site. Then when ready for adoption a trainer spends a week with the new owner helping with the transition. This check will help with the costly process, but more importantly, non-profit officials say it ensures they can continue to change lives with their talented canines.
The non-profit says they have seen the benefits of social media platforms and will continue to use Facebook and others sites to continue to bring attention to their cause.
