== NJSPCA Charity Fundraiser ==

---

As previously mentioned, the NJSPCA is returning as our charity (for their fourth year running, no less!). We're looking to break our previous records for donations - for all four FAU's combined! - and to raise over $10,000 for the NJSPCA! It's a steep goal, but we believe that. We need your support! With your help, we can meet and exceed that goal.

Donate to the NJSPCA at:
http://www.indiegogo.com/fau-njspca

Every donation counts, no matter how small! Not only that, but we're giving away goodies to everyone who donates $25 or more! Have $5 to spare? Put to good use, and help support the officers of the NJSPCA. The men and women of the organization risk their lives to save animals from abuse and neglect, and rely on donations and supporters to fund their goal. Not only that, but for every FAU Sponsor will donate $10 to the NJSPCA, $25 for every Supersponsor!

More information about the NJSPCA can be found here:
