Recently, Ecoverse partnered with the Montgomery County Humane Society, a county-wide 501(3)c nonprofit in Maryland for a fundraiser. They are committed to ending animal homelessness through education, outreach, and adoption. 

Our team organized a fundraiser on December 16th, 2023, to collect between $500 to $1000. We truly believed in the significance of the cause and were eager to contribute to one of the most active local organizations for supporting animal rights. 

We have previously assisted in fundraising for Boy Scouts, other school clubs, and non-profit organizations. At our own expense, we ordered pens featuring their logos and text and either sold or donated them for souvenirs. 

The Ecoverse team was excited to participate in the fundraising day by selling homemade baked goods, heart-shaped Christmas-themed pillows crafted by students, and custom pens and pins. 

For the fundraiser, we planned to order customized pens and stickers with the Humane Society logo.

When we arrived at the fundraiser location, we unloaded trays full of baked goods and the Ecoverse custom pens and stickers. Soon after setting up, we were greeted by strangers eager to buy and support our cause. Although the Ecoverse Team and I have done many fundraisers in the past, each fundraiser is a different experience from the different organizations we dedicate each towards. Many people were extremely thankful for the cause that we were supporting, and many families with pets also approached us to ask us more about the shelter as well. This fundraiser, Ecoverse raised $794 for the non-profit, one of the best fundraisers Ecoverse has ever held in a single day. 

We ordered through the Ecoverse website, with each pen priced at 60 cents, totaling 100 pens for our fundraising day for your organization. These small pens have proven to be instrumental in supporting our fundraising efforts, with over 20 sales of the pens and stickers. 

Not only that, but we were able to personally deliver the check to the organization and donated 38 handmade blankets crafted by our members for pets. After visiting the Montgomery County Humane Society, Ecoverse will continue to deliver pet blankets for the Society.
