uring the COVID-19 pandemic, life didn’t stop and neither did the work of Take the Lead. We initially stepped up and offered to pay the health insurance premiums of many
in our sport for a period of four months, May-August 2020. Since this situation lasted much longer than we ever anticipated, we extended this relief for an additional four-month period, September-December 2020.
At present, we need our clients to be aware we have far exceeded our original $400,000 pledge. After all approved insurance premium payments have been made the com- mittee will terminate the COVID-19 fund December 31, 2020. Effective immediately, we will not accept any new COVID-19 applications. As always, everyone’s wellbeing has been our top priority and Take The Lead will con- tinue our mission to help qualified friends in the sport by virtue of our two other applications available on our website, http://www.takethelead.org.
We sincerely hope the efforts of Take The Lead have made your journey through this era of the Coronavirus, just a bit easier. As dog shows begin once more and hope- fully, our lives begin to approach some degree of normal- cy, we wish you all well.
MOST SINCERELY,
BOARD OF DIRECTORS TAKE THE LEAD
