Oregon Humane Society Fundraiser Results

Just want to pass along a special thank you to all of our customers who supported the Oregon Humane Society by buying an animal themed Christmas ornament from RED SAIL between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We donated 15% of the sale of those items, raising over $250 (that doesn't even include the cash in our counter-top donation bin either!) for OHS. On behalf of all the puppies, kitties, bunnies, and other creatures cared for by the Oregon Humane Society, thank you! If you'd like more info about OHS visit their site,  http://www.oregonhumane.org/
