As we step into May, I’m thrilled to share the tremendous strides our community is making together. This month, we celebrate not only the growth and success of our mission, but also the support that makes our work possible.

While eagerly awaiting the start of one of our largest classes yet, coming this June, we see the vital necessity of amplifying our fundraising efforts.

If you missed it, the Jack F. and Glenna Y. Wylie Foundation has pledged a 1:1 match on all donations this month, up to a total of $150,000. We are incredibly close to reaching our goal, having already raised just under $100,000. Your contributions continue to be instrumental in advancing our mission, and with the current matching opportunity, your impact is even more profound.

Our corporate partners play a crucial role in sustaining and expanding our initiatives. I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all organizations that have donated this year. If you know of a company looking to make a significant difference in their community, please encourage them to consider supporting Pawsperity. Together, we can forge stronger bonds and create lasting impacts.

To each individual who has supported us—whether through donations, utilizing our services, or simply by spreading the word—you are truly making a difference. Remember, with the ongoing matching campaign, your donation now has double the impact, helping us move closer to our goal and enabling us to continue changing the lives of students.

Lastly, keep an eye out for next month’s newsletter, where we will be making a very exciting announcement regarding our Lee’s Summit Salon and a Pawsperity graduate. This inspiring tale is not just a testament to individual achievement but also an example of what we can accomplish together.
