• What are the fundraising goals?
• We've set a $60,000 goal to ensure that we receive the full benefit of the matching donation.
• We'd also like to receive at least one donation from all 50 states. Can you help us locate someone outside of your home state? Keep in mind "social media knows no distance."

• How does the $30,000 match work?
• The first $30,000 that is raised during this year's event will be generously matched dollar for dollar by Dick & Sharon Resch.

• Should I make a gift if the match has already been met?
• Absolutely! Each gift beyond the match is critical to and greatly appreciated by the animals, especially at this time.
• If we receive gifts in excess of the match, that means the match did its job!
• A successful campaign may inspire others to sponsor a matching gift.

• How does the money help the animals?
• The ways your gifts help the animals are endless. You'll find different gift categories at houroflove.org that detail the impact!

• When I visit houroflove.org there's no donate button?
• The donate button will be revealed at midnight on Friday, May 1.
• We've removed it because the match does not start until this time.

• How can I help with the fundraising?
• When event day arrives there will be a link to an Event Toolkit/Guide at houroflove.org.
• There are some very simple ways to share word of this event built into houroflove.org.

• How can I make a donation to the event?
• Visit: houroflove.org and make a gift on May 1 & 2
• Mail a check to:
• Attn: Hour of Love // HEA // E5714 Bork Road, Marion, WI 54950

• Do I need to sign up in advance for the virtual events?
• Signing up will add events directly to your calendar.
• For simplicity and being that there's no cost to participate, we'd encourage you to sign up in advance of the event.
• If space remains, we will share the links on the day of the event.

• Where do I find the sign up links for the events that require sign up?
• The buttons above link to the sign ups.
• These will also be posted at houroflove.org.

• Is there any cost to participate in any of the virtual events?
• There is no cost to participate in any of the Hour of Love activities.
• For select activities, you may find a suggested donation (not required). This is in lieu of an admission fee.
• We're asking anyone that joins a virtual chat with the dogs or cats to help raise a minimum of $50 (again, this is a suggestion).

• I have some questions about the video chats with the dogs and cats. Where can I find more information?
• All things "Video Chats" are detailed in this e-mail link.

• How do I participate in the events that don't require sign up?
• These events are noted as such in the Schedule of Events
• Where noted, you can engage by visiting HEA's Facebook Page.

• What's all the buzz about the teams: Raise the Woof! vs The Cat's Meow?
• We're asking people to "vote" with their donation. When you make a donation during Hour of Love you can choose which team receives credit for your kindness.
• Raise the Woof! (dogs)
• The Cat's Meow (cats)
• This is all for fun! Just trying to answer the age-old question: cats or dogs?
• Two of our passionate and fun-loving volunteers are serving as team captains. Follow Baili's & Kristen's pre-event chatter here.
• Additionally, you can join several of the virtual events based on your choice of species.
• And don't worry, if you're torn and choose dogs, we won't tell your cat (or vice versa).

• What technology will these virtual events use?
• We understand technology can be intimidating. Thankfully, both of the platforms we'll be using are relatively similar and easy to use.
• We will use Google Meet and Zoom to host our events.
• The main things you'll need are a solid Internet connection and the links that are included in your confirmation email(s). You will receive these links upon signing up for each event.
