<div><strong>Paws for a Cause: Help Us Raise $5,000 for The Maurer Foundation</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For 13 years, our Dan’s Pet Care community has shown what can happen when people come together for a cause that matters. With your help, we’ve raised over $30,000 for breast cancer causes along the way.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This October, we’re asking you to help us take that support further.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our goal is to raise $5,000 for The Maurer Foundation and its mission to save lives through breast health education.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Behind the pink shirts, the dogs in bandanas, and the photos from our events is a purpose: helping more people get information that could make a difference in their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Maurer Foundation’s education programs focus on breast cancer prevention, early detection, reducing risk, and healthy lifestyle choices. Your donation will support that work, helping people better understand their breast health and make informed decisions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our team, clients, and four-legged friends have made Paws for a Cause a tradition we’re proud of. Some people participate by wearing pink. Others donate, share the fundraiser, or bring their dogs to our events. Together, those individual acts of support have added up to something meaningful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Will you help us reach $5,000 this year?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A donation of $5, $25, $50, or any amount you’re comfortable giving brings us closer to our goal. If donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this fundraiser with a friend, family member, or coworker is another way to help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can also join in by wearing our Paws for a Cause gear, available at danspetcare.store.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether this is your first year supporting the fundraiser or you’ve been part of it for years, thank you for showing up alongside us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s turn our community’s love into support for breast health education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,Dan &amp; the Dan’s Pet Care Team

13th Annual Paws for a Cause Fundraiser

<div>Dante was more than just a brother—he was a father, a beloved son, a friend, and so much more. He was the life of the party, never letting a moment be dull, and always brought joy and energy to everyone around him. His son meant the most to him, and his mother, family, and cousin Jamel meant the world to him.

<div>My heart is shattered in a way I never knew was possible. Dante passed away after struggling with mental illness. He fought so hard, but the pain became too much for him to carry. No family ever prepares to lose someone like this, and we are completely devastated, still trying to process this unimaginable loss. Dante was more than his struggles—he was the light whenever there was darkness, and he will always be deeply loved. He knew how to unify and uplift any room he entered and was an amazing father to his son, loving him more than words could express.


</div>

</div>


<div><strong>We have been given only 10 days to make funeral arrangements, and we are not financially prepared for this sudden tragedy.</strong> I am asking, from the bottom of my heart, for any help during this incredibly difficult time. <strong>Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward giving Dante the proper farewell he deserves.</strong> If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this. Your prayers, love, and support mean more than words can express right now. Thank you for helping us honor Dante and lay him to rest with dignity.

Help Send Dante to Rest in Peace

<div>“In loving memory of Ephriam Weir, a person whose presence could light up any room. His energy and laughter brought joy to everyone around him—he was truly the life of the party. With a smile that could lift anyone's spirits, Ephriam was more than just a friend; he was a source of love, warmth, and unforgettable memories. As a beloved son and a cherished friend, his impact was felt deeply by all who knew him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're raising funds to honor his life and help his family with funeral expenses, memorial services, or other relevant needs. Thank you for helping us celebrate the life of such an incredible soul.”

<div>If you never had the pleasure of meeting E, I’d encourage you to watch the short documentaries <a href="https://vimeo.com/278667750" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mott Haven</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/847477470" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Byways</a> for even just a glimpse of the soul we all came to love and know. As a founding member of the Hip Hop Therapy Studio, he helped get the program off the ground and served as a source of inspiration to so many over the past decade—particularly myself. His transparency, vulnerability, perseverance, and positivity transcended anything I’ve ever seen, and his heart will be with me forever. Though this is the smallest of gestures, I hope we can collectively thank his family for sharing such a wonderful light with the world by supporting them through this indescribably difficult time. No one should have to grapple with the expenses of death on top of its emotional devastation, so let’s do what we can to at least alleviate that part of the burden. Thank you all so much.
