CELEBRATING JESSIE'S LIFE

Jessica Joy Rees was a beautiful, giving, and incredibly brave 12 year old girl. On March 3 2011, an MRI found she had an in-operable brain tumor. In September, another brain tumor was found.

On January 5, 2012, 10 months, and 2 days later, she earned her wings, and now looks down on us from heaven. I started a fundraiser for her NEGU Foundation, which was Jessie's motto... never, ever give up. With the help of my pawmazing donors, $5500 was raised.

SURFIN' SANTA PAWS HOWLIDAY GIVING DRIVE

This was my third year doing a Howliday drive. The first year it was for kids, the 2nd year it was for kids & kritters. THIS year, it was even more widespread, with several different drives all bunched into one.  And, the focus was on kids helping kids & animals in need! 

The drives included a  kritter toy drive.  Rina's getting involved this year & is having a soles for souls shoe drive.  A few of my kid FURiends are have special projects that I'm helping them with too.  Cole is an 11 year old boy with leukemia who's having a Christmas Toy Drive for other kids in the hospital.  Maria is an 18 year old girl who works with her dog Stacey Mae bringing teddy bears to kids in hospitals & folks in nursing homes. Emersyn is a 10 year old girl who uses her love for crafts by making cards for kids will illnesses in an effort to cheer them up. She calls her cards "smiles".

IAMS BAGS TO BOWLS FOOD DRIVE FOR SHELTER ANIMALS

As part of the Iams/Helen Woodward Animal Center's Home 4 the Holidays adoption drive, Iams had a food drive called Bags to Bowls, and their goal was to donate 5 million bowls of food to the 3500 animal shelters that participate in the program. 

Iams gave me the opportunity to raise some of those bowls. They gave me 50 bowls for every comment I got on this picture I posted on my Facebook page. The plan was for me to hold this drive throughout the holiday season. But, in just over 24 hours, I had over 20,000 comments, which came out to 1 million bowls of food!!  So, my food drive campaign ended early, but we were able to feed a LOT of animals!

TOTAL RAISED: 1 MILLION BOWLS OF FOOD

DONOR:
Iams
 

 


PETS N' PAIRS CONTEST from Shoes.com

Rina has a "thing" for shoes. Anytime someone comes over, she grabs a shoe, wags her tail, and greets the visitor. There are usually several shoes in our yard and driveway, and mom often has to ask Rina where her other shoe is.  Shoes.com had a photo contest, and pets were to enter a picture of them with shoes. Rina entered this one, and won!  The prize is a $100 giftcard to shoes.com, AND even better, a $100 donation to Petfinder!

TOTAL RAISED: $100

DONOR: Shoes.com

 


PAWING IT FORWARD FOR RUDY!

My FURiend, Rudy Rudalicous San Diego County Ambassador of Love passed over to the Rainbow Bridge on September 20, 2011.

Another FURiend, Katy Reilly Myers had the most pawmazing idea to honor Rudy. I was so touched, I immediately wanted to help facilitate it! So, together, with Katy, and Rudy's FURiends, we pawed it forward for Rudy.  He was a rescue from Rancho Coastal Humane Society, and Katy thought it would be grrreat to rally Rudy's FURiends together to make donations on behalf of Rudy to purchase a memorial brick that will be engraved with a tribute, and permanently placed on the RCHS Military Working Dog Memorial, located in Cricket's Corner Dog Park. Rudy used to play there.

We raised enough funds to also pay for the adoption fees once Rudy's mom Laura, and his brother Marley are ready for a new family addition. The remainder of the funds will go to RCHS animal fund. For more info on this fundraiser, click here.

SURFIN' TO CHASE AWAY K9 CANCER

I was
a charity partner with the Surf City Surf Dog surf contest on September 25th, 2011 in Huntington Beach, and Chase Away K9 Cancer was my beneficiary.  I surfed the event in memory of Chase, and all my other friends who lost their battle to cancer. 

One in 4 dogs die of cancer, and many others will get very, very sick from the effects of cancer.  Sadly, an estimated 50 percent of all dogs will die of this disease... together we can make a difference!  Click here for more information

I
held a photo Contest on Facebook for Rescues to enter pictures of their animals up for adoption. There were two winners, a small rescue, and a large rescue.

TOTAL RAISED: $300

 


REFUR A FURIEND, MAY 2011

One of my Facebook FURiends, Pet Pardons had a contest. Whatever page brought them the most "likes" would win $500. Thanks to my pawmazing fans, I sent the most likes to them, so I won. In the spirit of pawing it forward, I asked Pet Pardons to split the prize five ways, to other causes with more need.  It went to five different rescue groups.

That contest inspired me, so, I created the "FURiends of Facebook Awareness & Fundraiser.  The page/cause that sent the most referral FURiends to my Surf Dog Ricochet Facebook Page within a 4 day period, would get $500 donation to their cause from me (Puppy Prodigies). I ended up giving the 1st place cause $500, and then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th places got $100 each. To see a list of the recipients, go to my ReFur a FURiend Campaigns page.

PAWING IT FORWARD TO HELP JESSIE SPREAD JOY!

I met my new FURiend Jessica Joy Rees on her Facebook page.  She is a beautiful 12 year old girl.  Sadly, on March 3, 2011 an MRI revealed she has a in-operable brain tumor.

When Jessica found out she had a brain tumor, she realized there are a lot of people who wanted to help her. But, she also realized there are a lot of people who NEED help.  She was thinking of others despite her own challenges.  I was immediately connected to her spirit of wanting to help others... it kind of parallels my initiative of Pawing It Forward, so I created this fundraiser "Pawing It Forward to Help Jessie Spread Joy".

Jessica and her family formed a non profit organization called The NEGU Foundation, which stands for Never Ever Give Up... Jessica's motto!  Jessica has inspired thousands of people to NEGU! The Foundation will deliver Hope and Joy to children who have received a diagnosis similar to Jessica’s, and help fund cancer research.  For more information about this fundraiser, click here.

RINA'S BIRTHDAY WISH

My sister, Rina's birthday is April 20th... she'll be 8 years old. When I asked what she wants for her birthday, she didn't hesitate... "I want to try fundraising like you do, Ricochet... I wish for a fundraiser of my very own!"  I then asked her who she wanted to fundraise for.  Again, she didn't hesitate...

"I want to fundraise for Associaton of Amputee Surfers - AmpSurf. I want to help people like our good FURiend, Julie (AKA One Legged Jo)." She helped mom a LOT during the fear/anxiety stage of her open heart surgery. She shared details of her experience with cancer & losing part of her pelvis and right leg to a hemipelvectomy due to cancer. She is one of the bravest, most inspirational people we know... I'm so lucky I get to surf with her at AmpSurf clinics!  For more information on this fundraiser, click here.

SPOKESDOG & FUNDRAISER FOR REALITY RALLY, BENEFITING MICHELLE'S PLACE

Reality Rally was a three-day weekend event intended to raise funds for Michelle's Place, a resource center where women can go for help in coping with the challenges of breast cancer.

Teams consisting of Reality Stars and the public who wanted to play a 4-hour "Amazing Race" kind of game, raced throughout Temecula, California in a competition involving crazy activities and fun challenges, all for the coveted trophy, cash prizes, and most importantly raising funds for Michelle's Place.

When I first heard about Reality Rally, I thought it'd be fun to participate on a team. But, after meeting with Gillian, the creator and Rally Master, she thought I'd serve the rally better by being a Reality Rally spokesdog. I'm honored because the word "reality" means so much to me, as I've seen so many dreams become reality with the fundraising and inspirational work I do.  I was thrilled to be part of this "reality"... that benefited Michelle's Place. For more information on this fundraiser, click here.

Raised on Active: $3311

TIDAL WAVE FOR TARGET'S BUNKER

I encouraged people all over the world to help raise funds and awareness for Target's Bunker so a tidal wave of support was created!

Target saved the lives of many soldiers in Afghanistan when a suicide bomber walked into a Border Patrol compound.  Target, along with two other stray dogs, attacked the bomber.  Despite the bombing... she survived.  SGT Terry Young adopted Target, and brought her back to live with him in Arizona. One Friday afternoon, Target got out of the yard, and ended up in a shelter.  Tragically, by Monday morning, she was erroneously euthanized.  Target's Bunker has been formed with the hope of keeping another tragedy like Target's from happening ever again.

TURNING VOTES INTO VOICES - TARGET'S BUNKER

On January 7th, I was contacted by USA Today, and told I was one of five nominees in "the Most Heroic Dog of 2010". I was excited, and honored.  I started asking my supporters to vote for me, but quickly started feeling awkward about it... like it just wasn't right.

That's because one of the other nominees was Target.  And, Target deserves this title... she IS this title! So, rather than continue to ask my supporters for their votes, I decided to ask Target's dad, SGT Terry Young, what I could do to celebrate Target's life & help raise awareness of HER cause.

Target saved the lives of many soldiers in Afghanistan, only to lose hers by being erroneously euthanized by an officer at Pinal County Animal Care and Control in Arizona. Her cause is Target's Bunker formed with the hope of keeping another tragedy like Target's from happening ever again.  This no kill shelter will use every means available to save as many animals as possible.  For more information on this fundraiser, click here.

SNUGGIE PUP BLANKET & TOWEL DRIVE

 

On, January 3rd, I was invited to "speak" at Mt. Helix Academy in La Mesa, California's Roots & Shoots program at a local school. The Roots & Shoots program is part of the Jane Goodall Institute, and is about making positive change happen—for our communities, for animals and for the environment. With tens of thousands of young people in almost 100 countries, the Roots & Shoots network connects youth of all ages who share a desire to create a better world. Young people identify problems in their communities and take action.

The kids asked for my help with a blanket and towel drive for Helen Woodward Animal Center, and they named it... Snuggie Pup!!

For the month of January, they will be taking donations of new, or lightly used blankets and towels for the dogs and cats at Helen Woodward.  Then, at the beginning of February, they'll take a field trip, with me to deliver the blankets and towels to the animals!!  Click here for more information!

NATURAL BALANCE CASTING CALL FOR SKIMBOARDING

Natural Balance had a casting call for dogs who could skimboard for their 2011 Rose Bowl Float. I tried out, and was called back for the semi-finals, but didn't do so well on the call-back, so wasn't chosen.  Natural Balance, very generously gave all the semi-finalists 6 months of free dog coupons. I pawed it forward, and gave one coupon to each of these shelters/rescues below.

3 DOG WALK FOR BREAST CANCER

On October 17, 2010, Rina and I participated in the 3 Dog Walk for breast cancer, sponsored by DogTown San Diego and the Three Dog Bakery.

Breast cancer is a widespread and random disease, striking women and men of all ages and races. It is the most prevalent cancer in the world today, with about 1.3 million people diagnosed annually. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, and at this time, there is no cure.

But there is hope! Through research, we can fight this disease. With the help of our donors and supporters, we were the top fundraisers! The prize was an overnight stay at the L'auberge  Seaside Resort & Spa. We donated the prize back to Susan G. Komen, so they could provide the stay to a woman currently in treatment that could use a stress free get-a-way.

TOTAL RAISED: $1015

A WHEELCHAIR FOR TAMANDRA

My friend Tamandra has spina bifida, and uses a wheelchair.  The wheelchair she had was dangerous due to a poor fit.  She often fell out of her chair because it lurched forward.  Then, the unthinkable happened... the frame snapped in half, and it slammed her into the sidewalk very hard.  She often flipped over backwards because of the configuration, and the last time, she ended up with staples in her head. 

When I heard the pawful details, I knew I HAD to do something!!  So, I contacted TiLite.  They make custom wheelchairs completely to the individual's specifications!!  I shared my SURFice dog video with them, and explained how I try to paw it forward by helping others.  They immediately wanted to help too!  They donated a custom chair for Tamandra!!!  Now, I don't have to worry about her anymore!

I can't thank TiLite enough for becoming one of my donors, and making a HUGE difference in Tamandra's life. 

Click here to learn more about Tamandra's story!

Be sure to visit TiLite's website, and join their Facebook page.

TOTAL DONATION:  $5000
 

 


MOM'S BIRTHDAY WISH

Mom said she made one good decision in my life, allowing me to "be" who I truly am.  She wanted me to help one person with a disability, as a service dog. But, once she let go of her expectations, it became crystal clear that I wanted to help millions! She is now committed to facilitating MY mission and journey.

Due to mom's physical issues, I wouldn't be able to fulfill the surfing part of my SURFice dog role without the amazing people who help in the water. Most of these folks also volunteer with several adaptive surfing organizations.

So, rather than a birthday wish or gift, mom wanted to honor all these selfless people through a donation to one of the organizations below:

Association of Amputee Surfers
Helen Woodward Animal Center
Ocean Healing Group
Pets for Patriots
Surfers Healing
Wheels 2 Water

Mom says thank you for granting her birthday wish!

"AN EXTRA-ORDINARY MIRACLE" FUNDRAISER FOR FINNLEY

Finnley was born with brain damage due to oxygen being cut off to her brain. She was only expected to live one to 72 hours. But 2 1/2 years later... she is a miracle! Her brain damage caused cerebral palsy, seizures, and vision impairment.  She's not able to walk or talk right now, but loves classical music! She also finds great joy in the water. Her cerebral palsy tightens her muscles, but when she's in a pool, she's able to move her arms and legs. Her parents want to get a therapeutic swimming pool, but it costs $11,000!  So, I held a fundraiser to help Finley get the pool she needed! To see a video of Finley in a pool, click here.  To read more about Finley, check out her blog

Click here to see my amazing donors for this fundraiser

I contacted Endless Pools, and shared my SURFice dog video & Finnley's story, they immediately wanted to get involved in the project.  They gave me a significant special needs discount off the $11,400 price!!!  WOOF WOO!  So with the funds my donors helped me raise & the discount Endless Pools gave, the family only had to come up with $2560, which they had already raised with their own fundraisers.

Thank you, Endless Pools, you are absolutely PAWMAZING!  I can't thank you enough for making Finnley's extra-ordinary miracle come true!

Please visit Endless Pools at http://www.endlesspools.com
And on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/EndlessPools

TOTAL COST OF POOL:  $11,400
AMOUNT FAMILY PAID:     2,560
TOTAL RAISED:  $8840
Which includes the donations from my donors, and the special needs discount from Endless Pools.

 

DONORS


Endless Pools  gave us a 60% discount on the pool, so the family was able to purchase it with the $2000 my donors helped me raise & $2560 of their own fundraising $$.  As a result Finnley was able to start her therapy MUCH sooner!  Thank you Endless Pools!!

HELEN WOODWARD ANIMAL CENTER SURF DOG SURF-A-THON

On September 12, 2010, I surfed in the Helen Woodward Animal Center's Surf Dog Surf-a-thon.  This event was held to raise funds and awareness for orphaned animals, while promoting responsible pet ownership.

In 2009, I won 2nd place overall in the surf contest, but this year, my goal was to be the top fundraiser and win 1st place in donations!  That would be the best prize ever!! 

I did end up being the top fundraiser for 2010, but not only that... I raised more money than any individual fundraiser in the whole five years the contest has been in existence.  Thank you to my donors for helping me raise $3035!!

SURFIN' TO CHASE AWAY K9 CANCER

I was a charity partner with the Surf City Surf Dog surf contest on September 19th, 2010 in Huntington Beach, and Chase Away K9 Cancer was my beneficiary. 
I surfed the event in memory of Chase, and all my other friends who lost their battle to cancer.  Most importantly, I raised awareness and funds for canine cancer. 

One in 4 dogs die of cancer, and many others will get very, very sick from the effects of cancer.  Sadly, an estimated 50 percent of all dogs will die of this disease... together we can make a difference!

DOGGIE WHEELCHAIR FOR LADY AT OCEAN HEALING GROUP

My good friends at Ocean Healing Group pr
ovide once in a lifetime sports adventures in Costa Rica to wheelchair bound kids. There's a little dog named Lady, who hangs out with the kids on the beach & camp.  In April of 2010, she suddenly lost use of both her back legs. They think something may have fallen from a tree onto her back (they're in the jungle!).  The xray showed a lesion on her spine. At first she was in a lot of pain, and spent a week at the hospital. But she no longer seems to be in pain, but drags herself all around. 

She ended up with a spinal cord injury just like many of the kids at the camp, so it's pretty ironic that Lady suffered one too.

When I heard about Lady, I wanted to do something right away!  So, I contact the most amazing folks at Eddie's Wheels, and they donated a doggie wheel chair for Lady!

Now, Lady will be able to hang out with the kids on the beach once again.  Check back for pictures of Lady in her new chair!!

Thank you so much, Eddie & Leslie... you are PAWMAZING!!

Click here to see a video of Lady after her injury

PUPDATE! Lady was adopted to someone in the US, and will be getting the therapy she needs.  Vets are hopeful she will recover!

 


ARTHRITIS CAMPAIGN

Arthritis is a serious and debilitating disease that affects both humans and dogs. 
One in 5 adults, and over 300,000 children suffer with arthritis pain every day.  Arthritis is one of the most common health problems a dog will face. In fact at least 1 in 5 dogs will develop this debilitating disease. I was the 2nd top fundraiser for the arthritis walk, and the top fundraiser with the Leash Your Fitness with Kima Team.  Thank you donors!  Please click here to learn more about my arthritis campaign
