100% of what we earn for each individual product is contributed. Benefit auctions on ebay provide the full amount of the bid, rounded up to the nearest $25 directly to the beneficiary - NCG pays for the item, eBay & PayPal fees. Paying out of pocket for travel and office expenses and supplies is our way of contributing to the cause.

2005 was our first year to pass the $25,000 goal in contributions which also put us over the $100,000 mark for the last 6 years. All recipients are shown on our website. UPDATE 8/08: We're fast approaching the $200,000 landmark!

That was the same year our son gave me his old comuter and I learned to do email - from there, like Topsy, we just 'growed".

Now we have 9 senior greyhounds and when most folks our age are downsizing, we added 2000 sq ft on to our home two years ago so we could walk around dog beds instead of over them!

With all the wonderful friends we've met through our greyhounds, life just gets better every day!
