Operation E.L.F. will look different this year, but you can still support!

The pandemic and economy have created serious obstacles to our normal fundraising efforts and have prevented us from holding in-person events. In lieu of our Annual Gala, we’ll be holding a 2020 Challenge, asking sponsors and individuals to support us through these tough times. We hope you will join us for this virtual event on December 10!

Welcome to Branford's- Dan Cosgrove Animal Shelter! We have been helping homeless animals along the Connecticut shoreline and vicinity since April 2003. Hundreds of displaced animals come through our doors each year and it takes a lot of time, rehabilitation and veterinary care to place them into new homes. With such great support from the Town of Branford, our dedicated staff and our terrific volunteer base, we provide some of the best animal control & shelter services available in the state. We are so much more than a traditional shelter! We offer many programs and services to educate, inform and inspire people to take responsible care of their pets and to treat them with the kindness they deserve. With the support from people from all over Connecticut and beyond, we are helping to create a better community for all.

MACY’S AND MAKE-A-WISH® INVITE CUSTOMERS TO SEND LETTERS AND DELIVER WISHES AS PART OF 13TH ANNUAL BELIEVE CAMPAIGN



Macy’s Believe campaign offers customers the opportunity to write their letters to Santa online or safely drop-off in-store – for every letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million





Once again this year, Macy’s launches its beloved Believe letter-writing campaign, in partnership with Make-A-Wish, giving believers of all ages the opportunity to send letters and deliver wishes. From Monday, Oct. 26 through Thursday, Dec. 24, for every letter sent to Santa online here or dropped off in Macy’s stores, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, up to $1 million, to help children fighting critical illnesses’ life-changing wishes come true.



“Macy’s Believe campaign showcases the power of a wish and captures the joy of the holiday season by bringing communities together across the country to help grant wishes,” said Sam Di Scipio, Macy’s senior director of corporate communications, giving and volunteerism. “While this year has brought many challenges, especially to Make-A-Wish children and their families, we are proud of the way our teams have reimagined Macy’s Believe campaign to continue to make life shine brighter for those in need.”



Since 2003, Macy’s has donated more than $132 million to Make-A-Wish, including more than $21 million through the retailer’s annual Believe campaign, helping grant more than 15,500 wishes and impact more than 3.1 million people, including wish kids and their families, volunteers, community groups, medical professionals and more.



“Over the last 17 years, Macy’s has truly embodied the Make-A-Wish mission by helping deliver experiences of joy to thousands of children so they can look forward to tomorrow,” said Richard K. Davis, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. “We are extremely grateful for their generosity in continuing to invite communities to bring joy back into the lives of children with critical illnesses through the Believe campaign.”



Wishes granted through Macy’s Believe campaign deliver hope and joy to wish kids and their families when they need it most. The impact of a wish forever transforms the lives of Make-A-Wish children battling critical illnesses and provides hope and strength needed to fight harder and look forward to tomorrow. This year, Macy’s will help grant wishes across the country.
