Have You Joined the Challenge Yet?
 
 
Join the Give $20, Tag 20 Challenge today! The Humane Society of Charlotte is challenging 50,000 people to make a donation of $20 toward our Capital Campaign to build a new animal resource center through the Give $20, Tag 20 Challenge.
Why? We want everyone in Charlotte to feel that they can contribute to making this new animal resource center a reality. By making donations financially accessible, more people can be part of this effort. Small donations do make a big difference and can add up.
 
Join the Challenge
  1. Donate $20 (or more!) at give20tag20.com
  2. Post a picture of your pet, or any animal that inspired you to give on Instagram. Use #give20tag20 so we'll see it!
  3. Challenge 20 of your friends, or as many as you can, to make the same donation and keep the challenge going.
