I’m not her biggest fan.  It’s not that I don’t care for her, it’s more like I don’t identify with her, but… check this out.  Rachael Ray has offered up $200,000 to charities the help animals in need. In what she’s calling “Mutt Madness”, Rachael has launched an initiative to help raise money for organizations that practices no-kill animal wellness.

According to Ray’s site:

”If you’ve got a [charitable] organization that practices no-kill animal wellness, then enter to win up to $50,000! How does it work? Our panel will choose 64 qualified organizations to participate in a fun, brackets-style program where the public votes for the winners. After 6 rounds of cash rewards, the grand prize winner will receive $50,000! All in all, we are giving away over $200K to organizations that have shown a serious committment to helping animals in need.”

Right on, Rachael!
