What can $5 and 2 minutes do?

Most everyone has $5 and 2 minutes to spare. A person would spend more time and more money in line at any restaurant, convenience store, mall, or even just sitting at their computer/phone/tablet. It’s not much and it doesn’t seem like much, but…just imagine what it could do for the horses out there in need…

#GivingTuesday begins in 5 hours. It is a global day of giving celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. To help raise awareness of charitable causes and amplify donors’ generosity, Facebook is matching up to $7 million in eligible donations made on Facebook during GivingTuesday 2019. Facebook’s match for GivingTuesday 2019 begins at 8:00 AM Eastern Time (5:00 AM Pacific Time) on Tuesday, December 3, 2019. Donations are matched dollar for dollar on a first-come, first-served basis until $7,000,000 USD in eligible donations are made on Facebook. This amount will be reached in SECONDS, so be sure to donate right away so your donation is matched!! When you donate using Facebook’s payments platform to a nonprofit organization, 100% of your donation goes to support the cause you care about. But…as a “small” organization in the grand scheme of things (compared to the Red Cross, etc), Pony Tales will not likely receive any of the matched donations via Facebook. So…

Rather than asking just our Facebook followers to donate $1 to reach our goal (hoping for the elusive Facebook match), we are reaching out to all of you…including our “silent” followers who have supported us every step of the way. Our supporters who do not want praise or notoriety for their generosity. Our supporters who just…want…to help…horses in need… What are we asking for? Not much. $5 and 2 minutes from each of you.

Your $5 and 2 minutes of time, will change the world for an exponential number of horses. Every $5 adds up and every 2 minutes gets us closer to winning $5,000 from the Markquart Gives Back campaign that started today and runs until Dec. 13. Your $5 will go directly to the rescue, care, and sheltering of so many horses and your 2 minutes voting for us will bring us ever closer to winning $5,000 that will also go to the rescue, care, and sheltering of (our goal) of over 200 horses in 2020. We do not ask for any more than this from any one of you. You have proven over and over again that every little bit adds up and that has made it possible for us to have already helped 139 horses just this year. Your $5 and your 2 minutes, will help so many more.

It’s just $5 and 2 minutes. And then you can sit back and watch what amazing things can happen with that…

Thank you all!!
