We are going into OVERTIME!

WE ARE AT $2 MILLION! πŸŽ‰ And over 3,700 donors have already blown past our goal of 3,500 — you all are unreal. But we're not done yet. Can we surpass last year and hit $2.5 million? It's overtime and we're ready to push to the finish. The Herd is counting on you! #OneHerdOneDay
