We need help in putting on our Specialties for YOU!!!
The Great Dane Club of Western Washington (GDCWW) needs your help. As you probably know, the entry fees don’t cover the expenses to fully fund our shows. The cost of our breeder judges, their transportation costs, hotels, meals, insurance, Superintendent fees, trophies, and ribbons really add up.
Please consider a contribution to our Club to help offset our costs. We very much appreciate any dollar amount that you can help us with to make this a wonderful show experience for you and your dogs. We will gratefully include your name and/or kennel name as one of our financial contributors in our show catalog.

If you would like to contribute, please make your contributions using the following options:
- US Mail to: GDCWW Treasurer c/o Tom Tomlinson, PO Box 1309, Tumwater, WA 98589. Make your check payable to GDCWW. Please write your name as you wish it to appear in the catalog for your contribution on a card or sheet of paper.
- Online via PayPal button on THIS PAGE where it says “Donate” and use the Contact Us form to tell us your name as you wish it to appear in the catalog.
