Last summer we started fundraising by<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong> selling cakes on our street<\/strong><\/span>. We baked and decorated beach cakes to fit the summer season. After fundraising for a day, we created a commercial to send to family and friends. Everybody was so generous. Some people even donated extra money to support the cause!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans MS, cursive;\">We think that kids around the world should think about these words: <strong><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\">we are friends with you so why can\u2019t you be friends with animals too?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans MS, cursive;\">These words are FFW\u2019s slogan. It means that <strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">we want equality for animals <\/span><\/strong>too. We also feel that Earth Rangers is a great organization because it encourages everyone to help different animals not just the animals they know like cats and dogs but animal like pine martens, ring-tailed lemurs and black and white tegu.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Comic Sans MS, Comic Sans MS, cursive;\">We are beginning to plan our next summer fundraiser.
