Post 1: Be a hero for animals

Animals have played a huge role in my life and supporting animals in need has always been important to me. Every year, thousands of local dogs, cats, and critters find shelter, safety, and love at Animal Humane Society. Together, we have an opportunity to make a difference for them. Will you please help me by supporting my Walk for Animals fundraiser? You can be their hero — and mine. [Insert a link to your Walk for Animals fundraiser.]

Post 2: Have a little fun

We could all use a little fun in our lives right now, so let’s play a game. I’m participating in the Walk for Animals and supporting Animal Humane Society — a cause I care deeply about. For every $10 donation I receive this week, I’ll tell you what animal I think you’re most like and why! Donate now to help local animals! [Insert a link to your Walk for Animals fundraiser.]
