The SPCA of Northern Nevada opened a Giving Tuesday match: donations are doubled up to $75,000 through Dec. 4, MyNews4 reported. The campaign is aimed at a $200,000 goal for rescue care, affordable veterinary services, and Todd's Medical Assistance Fund.
From January through September the organization spent a record $250,000. The $75,000 figure is the ceiling on the match, not cash already in hand, and the $200,000 is the amount the drive is trying to raise.
For the classroom
The SPCA of Northern Nevada, which cares for dogs and cats around Reno and Washoe County, started a Giving Tuesday match. If someone donates, another gift of the same size is added, up to $75,000 in matching money. The match runs through December 4. The shelter is trying to raise $200,000 for rescue care, lower-cost vet visits, and a medical fund named Todd's. From January through September the group spent a record $250,000. The $75,000 is a cap on the match, not money already collected.
