From left to right: Grace Duffey, Chloe Frentsos, Avery Hieronymus and Aleah Anderson play with Tater, who is a deaf rescue dog from the Wigglin Home Boxer Rescue, during a fundraiser, on June 9. The fundraiser, organized by Anderson and Duffey, will benefit the rescue that has saved more than 300 dogs in the two years it has been open.

When it came time for Odyssey Middle School seventh-grade students Aleah Anderson and Grace Duffey to prepare ideas for a project titled, “What Would you Fight for,” they immediately decided to work together on a mission to fight against dog abuse.

The two 13-year-old girls created an action plan for their project and eventually teamed up with Wigglin Home Boxer Rescue, an all-volunteer nonprofit, to organize an event for the Camas community where attendees could speak with Wigglin Home volunteers, donate, take a walk around the park and win raffle prizes.
