Charities + Internet Marketers = The Big Cat Habitat/SEJ’s Melissa Fach
Melissa Fach and a furry friend at The Big Cat Habitat
Alpha Brand Media publication Search Engine Journal is running a series that spotlights favorite non-profits or charities of well-known internet marketers.
Today’s column features SEJ’s managing editor Melissa Fach, who is an avid supporter of Sarasota’s The Big Cat Habitat.
To me, the best part of the post is Melissa’s invitation to bloggers and media to have an extended close encounter with a big cat.Imagine 2 hours alone with a tiger and a chaperone, with metal bars separating you from 900 pounds of not only muscle, ferocity and sharp teeth, but also personality, warmth and a desire for connection and affection. Sounds like a truly once in a lifetime experience.
Melissa references her “children” with a protective tenderness that is inspiring. Read the interview here.
