Challenge #1 has been met!

ROBIN AND GENE HAMME Challenge got us to $13,165 in 10 days!

Now, a NEW Challenge has been made!

We all have a Challenge that will not only benefit the 2024 Berner-Garde Fundraiser,
but will also benefit our Berners by giving researchers the information that they need for their research studies.

 

Carol  Lynn Fox and The Fox Legacy Fund For Bernese Longevity have made a challenge:
$5 will be donated to Berner-Garde for each date of death or cause of death update submitted to Berner-Garde during the month of July up to $1000 donation. 

 

Here is the link to Berner-Garde so you can enter the date and cause of death for all of your Berners who are at “The Rainbow Bridge”
 - just click on the underlined link below and it will take you to the right place!!

 

  1. If your Berner at the Rainbow Bridge is already in Berner-Garde, then just click on Add/Update Date of Death and add the date and cause of death.
  2. If your Berner at the Rainbow Bridge is not entered into Berner-Garde, then just click on Add a new dog to the database, enter the information including date and cause of death.

 

When you are done, you will have met the “Fox Challenge” and Carol Lynn Fox will donate $10 to the
Berner-Garde Fundraiser since you entered both the date and cause of death. This is truly a gift to the Berners of Today and the Berners of Tomorrow.

 

WE NEED 200 ENTRIES TO EARN THE $1,000 FROM CAROL LYNN!

 

Please help us get the $1,000!


Joye Neff

Ready to get the information from Berner-Garde and share how many entries we get periodically.


 


Our goal for the fundraiser is to raise $25,000.
The money we raise will pay the postage to mail approximately 250 frozen histio samples to the researchers in France for their research study of histio.

 

If you would like to help us hit our goal of raising $25,000, you can still make a donation via PayPal. 
Please type: "2024 Berner-Garde Fundraiser" where it says "Enter dedication or in memory of here."  Here is the link!

https://bernergarde.org/home/Donate

 

Or you can make a check payable to Berner-Garde Foundation and mail it to me at:  Joye Neff, 108 Minnock Drive, Mars, PA 16046.

 

 

Berner-Lovers are the most bestest people!!

A Message From Pat Long
I know Joye gives these tickets away, but she gives them away when she’s happy, too! What makes her happy? When people donate to Berner charities, or donate to Berner charities to thank other people for their hard work. It makes her happy when Berners benefit from our generosity, and Joye must be about the happiest person I know – because no one is as generous as the Bernese Mountain Dog community!

I was the Berner-Garde File Manager for 12 years, and I know how much of a labor of love it is for so many of you. Making updates that were terribly painful, as well as many that were joyful and exciting, are greatly appreciated. Thanks to each and every one of you for adding your dogs to a legacy that helps the future of the breed! YOU help to make this open database unique among all breeds. Thank you one and all!


And for those of you who participate in the BMD DNA Repository – thank you! And for those of you who have donated tumor tissue, words are not enough – but thank you for making the effort during the worst possible time.


Hug your dogs and tell them I think they are so very lucky to have the most special owners!
