ADMISSION

Admission to the Blast is $15 for the first adult, $10 for each additional adult 17 and up. Children 16 and under and all bassets are FREE! Even though admission is only $15, we will be awarding prizes to the top 5 pledge earners who bring in the most money through a combination of online pledges and pledge money turned in upon arrival Saturday. Here are some great tools to help build up your pledges! Remember…the money from the blast helps pay our vet bills for the rest of the year!

   1. Online Fundraising!  Here is a great online tool for increasing your donations to ABC for our Basset Blast! Join the ABC Team and create an online fundraising page! You can customize the page and add your Basset’s pictures, a story about your basset, change the colors and add a goal. Once completed, you can send friends/family a link to your personal fundraising site and they can donate via credit card. This is a great way to reach folks you may not see every day, or for someone who is shy about asking for pledges/donations. Great prizes for top 5 pledge earners! Remember…it’s $15 to get in the door…set up a page and have others donate so you get in FREE!

    2. Dimes for Dogs Did you know that a standard 16 oz water bottle holds $90 in dimes?! Put a label on a water bottle and leave it in your entrance way, dresser, or kitchen table. Fill the bottle with your spare change every day and watch the money accumulate! Know a business that would allow you to put one there?
