Target Circle Community Voting

Thank You! Thanks to shoppers like you, Young-Williams Animal Center received a received donation of $4,056.42 to help care for homeless, lost and vulnerable pets through Target Circle.

“We are grateful for every single vote and all the supporters that helped us make the most of this incredible opportunity,” says Janet Testerman, CEO of Young-Williams Animal Center. “This donation will directly support our mission to lead the community to end pet homelessness, promote animal welfare and enhance the human-animal bond.”

Young-Williams Animal Center is honored and excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a special charitable giving campaign, sponsored and funded by Target. YWAC was chosen in part because we are addressing critical needs and pressing issues in the local community – and you have the chance to help direct a portion of Target’s donation to us!

Now through December 31, 2020, vote for us through the Target Circle program to help determine how Target’s donation will be divvied up. Find out more about Target Circle here: www.target.com/circle

We’re asking our supporters to help us make the most of this incredible opportunity. Every vote counts to help us receive a portion of the available Target funds as we continue our mission to lead the community to end pet homelessness, promote animal welfare, and enhance the human-animal bond.

Don’t forget, you get votes each time you shop so you can come back and vote often.

Thank you for your support, and we encourage you to share your support for us (and your thanks to Target) on social media throughout the duration of the voting!

Target is running multiple local giving programs in Tennessee. In each Giving Program, Target will make a charitable donation to be allocated among nonprofit organizations selected for the Giving Program. The allocation of the Donation among the Nonprofits for each Giving Program will be based on the percentage of votes each Nonprofit receives during the applicable voting period (October 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020) for that Giving Program. Each Nonprofit is guaranteed a minimum of $1,000.00 for participating in a Giving Program.
