The fifth and final ASPCA Rachel Ray 100K Challenge is officially one for the history books. And what a glorious history of saving lives it is! Animal shelters from all over the country work for three months to increase their adoption numbers over the same time the previous year, with the added incentive of a donation of $100,000 to the winning shelter, plus lots of other prizes. This year the combined total of lives saved is a whopping 68,805 in just 90 short days—that's more that twice the increases when the challenge began in 2010. And here's one more figure: In the challenge's five years, the competing shelters saved more than a quarter of a million lives!
Kudos to both Rachel Ray and the ASPCA for collaborating on this massive effort to find so many shelter animals loving, forever homes! But here's the best part: The extraordinary success of the participating shelters is proof that it can be done. Euthanasia rates can be drastically reduced with collaborative community efforts and lots of hard work. And it can happen at any animal shelter in the world. There are no excuses.
But wait, there's more! To help us celebrate the extraordinary effort and success of the participating shelters, the ASPCA and Rachel Ray have generously donated a very special prize pack that will go to one lucky Bocci's Beefs reader.
Here's what you could win!
Please enter via Rafflecopter below. The winner will be announced shortly after the giveaway's closing date of Friday November 7, 2014.· ASPCA Fleece Blanket· Cat Ear Beanie

How cool! We'd love to win!!
Ooh, fun! Thanks for the chance to win!
A local shelter - KC Pet Project - received the community engagement award. They won a total of 30k which sounds like a lot, but they take in somewhere between 8-10 thousand animals every year. They do an amazing job considering the challenges they face... including an old, outdated and way too small shelter. Needless to say, they were thrilled to get some help from this contest...

everyone did a fantastic job - congrats to all the people involved

Darn, I was out of town for a few days and really got behind on my e-mails. I only just found the link to this giveaway and guess I missed it. It's not midnight where I'm at, so I'm guessing it ended at midnight EST?
