Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

So many opportunities present themselves when you don't limit creativity. GREY2K USA Education Fund teaches at every level, creating children who learn to care about others we share this planet with. Empathy begins at an early age. Also this group sponsors rescues for greyhounds throughout the United States. Sweet, gentle, loving greyhounds make converts wherever they go and children learn that friends don't always come with only 2 feet. And everybody smiles!

Rating: 5 stars  

I am not only a donor but I am on the GREY2K USA Worldwide board. However, I would be neither if I wasn't committed to the goals and the strategies of this nonprofit. This group has steadily decreased the presence of greyhound racing throughout the world, allowing thousands of these beautiful, gentle dogs to go and live a life that doesn't involve the cruelty and dangers faced daily by racing dogs. I'm proud to be a part of it.

Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The real story of the history of greyhounds and how they've come to be used now as expendable commodities in dog racing needs to be told, and Grey2K USA Education Fund is one of the primary information outlets to disseminate the facts. Not "the facts" as the racing industry would have one believe, but the real facts. Facts lead to action and to activists and they, in turn, lead to results. And every bit of light shed on this appalling institutionalized animal abuse will help bring about its end. I have supported them for years and will continue to do so...proudly.

As a member of a greyhound adoption group in Florida, I can say that we here in Florida are at the epicenter of the battle to end greyhound racing. Grey2K USA is working to make this happen. And they work on every front...public relations, education, legislatively and importantly, by involving grassroots activists. Best of all, we are seeing real progress because of their initiatives. We will see the end of greyhound racing and Grey2K USA will be the largest part of the reason. I am proud to be affiliated with them and to support their efforts.

Rating: 5 stars  

This is THE non-profit that harnesses the smarts, resources and tireless dedication to take on the institutionalized cruelty of greyhound racing...first in the Northeast, then throughout the USA, and now throughout the world. These dedicated professionals have brought a powerful skill set to the nuances and logistics required to get the laws passed...get the publicity OUT...get the message across, and then make results happen. I've supported them for years and fully intend to support them until greyhound racing is an anachronism of a less enlightened era. I am proud to be affiliated with their efforts.

Review for GREY2K USA Worldwide, Arlington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

From being a state-wide organization, to a national activist organization and now to a worldwide greyhound advocacy and protection organization, this remarkable group and these intensively dedicated people have never lost sight of their (and my) ultimate goal: to see an END to greyhound racing internationally. I am proud to support them. I will continue to support them and want to be on hand to celebrate with them when the ultimate goal is achieved.

Review for GREY2K USA Worldwide, Arlington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have supported this organization with both effort and donations for many years and personally know the two principals. What has always impressed me is that every position Grey2K USA has taken and every statement they release is 100% grounded in provable fact. I live in FL, belong to a greyhound rescue & adoption organization and have owned greyhounds for almost 20 years...and I will say this: Grey2K USA has been fearless in exposing the underbelly of greed and abuse that marks the dog racing "industry." They have made real progress in speeding the demise of this inhumane activity. They are making real progress in helping to better the lives of those dogs still used and used up as the commodities upon which this industry depends. I am proud to share their values and, most especially, their many victories.

Review for GREY2K USA Education Fund, Arlington, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Grey2K is the primary advocacy group for the welfare and protection of greyhounds in the U.S. and, with increasing frequency, throughout the world where the barbarism of dog racing still persists. Their unwavering dedication to legislative and educational efforts has helped close tracks and totally eliminate dog racing in a growing number of states. I live in Florida and have been privileged to participate in two FL campaigns spearheaded by Grey2K USA to try and pass laws to protect the greyhound victims of human greed. And these remarkable, dedicated people will keep pushing until at last it will be the DOGS that win. That's who they are, and that's what they do. And I am proud to give them my support.
