| Donations and fundraisers provide the income we need to provide help. FORMAL WEAR RESALE SHOPThe GCHS held its 3rd Annual Formal Wear Resale Shop for three weeks in late March 2012. New and gently-used wedding, mother-of-the-bride, prom, and other formal dresses were donated and for sale. This year, over $750 was made and many brides and wedding party members left with nice dresses for cheap prices! Special thanks go to: Dave Mo for donating the storefront, Domenick Signs for the banners, Our Towne Theater forthe dress forms, Dove Center forthe dress racks, Family Rental Center as a drop-off spot, and to all that helped at the shop! Many dresses are still available so if you are interested in one of them, please contact Lisa Baker at 301-616-4425.
SPAY/NEUTER AWARENESSThe 17th Annual Spay Day took place on February 28, 2012 and this year, the CGHS gave out 104 vouchers totalling $5,750. The objective of SpayDay is to inspire people to have their pets spayed or nuetered in conjuction with the campaign sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States. Additional objectives include raising money help those that need financial assistance, and informing people of the importance of having their pets altered to reduce the numbers euthanized in shelters. DOG-GONE FUNDRAISERGCHS held it's annual fundraiser on July 23, 2011 and over $7,000 was raised. The "Meet-the-Breed" event featured over 40 breeds of dogs in one barn, giving attendees a chance to meet the dog and ask the owner questions about that specific breed. Prior to the costume contest, we also hold a "Meet-the-Breed" parade! Other activites and demonstrations include:
