BMT Initiates Matching Donation Challenge



Briard Medical Trust Bloat ChallengeView this email in your browser
The Briard Medical Trust
The AKC Canine Health Foundation has undertaken amajor bloat initiative to sponsor research into the causes and treatment of bloat (Gastric Dilatation Volvulus or GDV).

The Briard Medical Trust has committed to raising enough funding to become a Bloat Initiative Charter Sponsor at $10,000. The Briard Club of America generously donated $2,500 to start us off, and has designated an additional $2,500 from the BCA Donor Advised Fund at the AKC CHF to take us halfway toward our goal. We thank the BCA for its generosity.

To raise the remaining $5,000, the Briard Medical Trust is initiating a matching donation challenge: for every donation toward the bloat initiative by individuals, a club, or a business, the trust will match the donation 1:1 up to a total trust contribution of $2,500. The challenge will run through December 21, 2012.

If you would like to participate in the challenge online, go to the Briard Medical Trust website and use the PayPal button provided on that page.

For those who wish to send a check, please indicate that it is for the bloat challenge and send to:

Kathy Fitzpatrick
BMT Treasurer
880 Green Level Road
Boones Mill, VA 24065

Thank you.
