No-Kill Initiative Calendar Sale, Community Open House & Paralympic Experience, Habitat for Humanity Golf Tournament

By Eric S. Peterson
There’s no better season for activism than summer. This week, for example, you can buy adorable animal calendars to support pet adoption, embrace disabled-friendly recreation at a fair complete with rock-climbing wall and ice cream or tee off to support your local Habitat for Humanity.

No-Kill Initiative Calendar Sale
July 15-Aug. 1

Utah FACES is a nonprofit dedicated to making sure Salt Lake County’s pets find a home away from the shelter. This year, the organization is creating a calendar to help fund their no-kill initiative, and now is the time to get in on the ground floor of this charitable venture by submitting $10 with your pet’s photo for the 2011 calendar. The first 700 submissions are guaranteed to be in the calendar, and one of them will earn the coveted cover spot. Yes, pets! No kill!
July 15-Aug. 1, UtahFaces.org, or e-mail agent@utahfaces.org

Since 1976, Habitat for Humanity has put more than 300,000 roofs over the heads of needy individuals and families. Now, the Salt Lake chapter is asking people to tee off for a good cause. The minimum donation is $350 per person, and all of it goes to help provide shelter to those in need, complete with no-profit, zero percent mortgages for recipients.
