Your chance to win an iPad Animal Humane Society and our friends at First Tech are offering a little bit of extra motivation to help you with your online fundraising efforts as we approach the final stretch. From April 20th to the start of the Walk on May 1st at 10 a.m., the person who raises the highest number of online donations will be our winner and a proud new owner of an Apple iPad.   Since this challenge is based on the number of donations you receive and not dollar amount, this is one anyone can win! A $20 donation counts just as much as a $1,000 one. All you need to do is ask all of your friends and family to simply give what they can.
