Last month, I hosted a “Halloween in July” fundraiser to support the North Texas Wildlife Center, who is desperately trying to raise money to move to a new facility. I promised that all profits from Spooky America books bought through my online store from July 1-31 would go to NTXWC and everyone who purchased a book during that time would also be entered into a raffle to win a NTXWC t-shirt. (The winner is posted below!)
However, shortly after I started the fundraiser to help wildlife, devastating floods swept through Central Texas, destroying homes, separating families, and claiming dozens of innocent lives. After seeing the footage of the rescue efforts, I decided to match the amount raised for the North Texas Wildlife Center with an equal contribution to the Kerr County Disaster Relief Fund. Therefore, I’ll be donating $103.25 to both organizations.
Thank you to the people who bought copies of The Ghostly Tales of Dallas, The Ghostly Tales of Austin, and The Ghostly Tales of New England last month. Your purchase helped support animals and humans in need. And CONGRATULATIONS to Meagan M! You were the winner of the free t-shirt from the NTXWC Swag Shop! I’ll be in touch soon to find out which fun design you want.
If you missed your chance to participate in the “Halloween in July” fundraiser, don’t worry. You can still make a donation to the North Texas Wildlife Center or the Kerr County Disaster Relief Fund. You can even still buy a NTXWC t-shirt or a Spooky America book. That’s the cool thing about supporting others—you can do it year-round.
Until next time, stay cool and be kind to wildlife. (And humans.)
