       Wow my friend Bailey is here, I love playing with her!  Why are we getting in the car?  The car means the groomer or the vets!  Maybe I am going to training; since Bailey is here and she goes to school with me.  Nope no training, where are we going?
      In the car there is my mommy, 2 two legged people, Bailey and me. The car ride was nice, but we need fresh air. Finally we are getting out of the car, come on get my seatbelt off so I can get out! There are so many dogs , I wonder if Bailey see’s what I see?  Which way to go there are so many dogs, my mommy is walking around looking for something maybe a bone or a treat for me! Bailey is excited but she is not showing it she is very calm.
     Oh boy, I just met Wagner and he is so big, I need to hide he will not leave me alone!  Good we are walking around now, there are doggie treats everywhere.  My mommy bought me something, yeah!
           I guess we are going now, my seatbelt is going on.  Bailey and me had so much fun we walked, we played, saw other dogs and got treats. In the car we go, and now I can take a nap!

Dukal Make A Difference Campaign

Dukal Make A Difference Campaign

By Stephen Stack 

            Early 2009 the DUKAL Marketing Team decided we wanted to make a difference in the world not only in a business sense but overall. We all decided that we wanted to start giving back so we held various meetings to narrow down charities we wanted to help this year. Once we narrowed it down we opened it up to the whole company and got a huge response!  We broke up into teams and started to plan which events we would be participating in.

            It’s getting towards the end of the year and so far the campaign has been very successful! We were able to raise more then our target donations for both the AHRC and Breast Cancer research. Barktoberfest was a lot of fun to be a part of to promote the adoption of all the pets at the Brookhaven Animal Shelter. We were also able to donate over five pallets of our product and clothing to the Christian Appalachian Project.

 With the Donate a Phone, Soup Kitchen, and Toys for Tots still to go I’m very optimistic that we’ll succeed in making a difference and I’ve found it’s been a lot of fun to give time and donate to these charities. It feels good and at the end of the day and it’s really not a big sacrifice to give up a little for a good cause because the reward of giving is always bigger then what you give.

I think I can speak for all of DUKAL saying every second spent planning this campaign has been worth it and I can only see the DUKAL Make A Difference Campaign growing from here.
