We’re a group of graduate students working on a project focused on how small actions can create real, measurable impact.

For our campaign, we’ve partnered our idea with Humane Colorado (formerly the Dumb Friends League), an organization doing meaningful work for animals in need. Our goal is simple: encourage people to donate just $5, share a photo of their pet wearing a hat, and tag a few others to keep it going.

This isn’t just about raising money—it’s about tracking how far a simple idea can spread, how communities engage, and how quickly small contributions can add up to something bigger.

Every donation goes directly to Humane Colorado. Every post helps expand the reach. And every participant becomes part of something that’s equal parts fun, purposeful, and impactful.

If you’re willing to take part, donate what you can, share your pet’s photo, and pass it on.
