Team Charity Case

Navigator Raelynn Roderick selflessly volunteers her time to a local animal rescue in her home town of Prescott Arizona. Raelynn among other things is a foster for rescued dogs. One night early 2024 the unthinkable happened to Raelynn, a Fosters worst nightmare. One of the dogs got out and was running freely on the streets of town. It was dark, a very cold night and Archie, a dog Raelynn planned to adopt herself was missing. Socal Media Posts went out immediately asking fellow Fosters, Rescues, Trapers anyone to come help search for Archie. Team Charity Case who is a Prescott Based 501c3 Nonprofit who is engaged in supporting thr many local shelters and rescues got word of the incident. Kristine Wilder founder with another Team Charity Case member grabbed dog treats, leashes, and their flashlights and headed to the area. Many were searching the area including Founder of Team Charity Case Kristine Wilder. Word came over that Archie had be found but was hit by a car. Raelynn was distraught as anyone could imagine and headed to the Emergency Animal Hospital where the people who had struck Archie had taken him. The ER Animal Hospital was the first time Navigator Raelynn and Driver Kristine met and it was under horrendous circumstances. The Doctor told Raelynn that Archie was in critical condition and things did not look promising. Team Charity Case Founder Kristine offered to help more by covering the medical expenses of the ER but Raelynn and her husband believed they had it handled. Kristine and everyone else left Raelynn and her husband at the ER Animal Hospital and went home scared and worried for Archie. About 45 minutes passed and Kristine received a text message asking if the offer to help Archie was still available. Kristine said of course. Turns out the ER Doctor informed Raelynn that it would be just under $8000 to merely stabilize Archie and monitor him overnight. Otherwise saying goodbye to Archie was the alternative and recommendation. Team Charity Case informed the ER Animal Hospital that whatever the cost it would be paid and to take every measure to save Archie. Raelynn is a volunteer and foster for the local rescue and Kristine supports the rescues so this was a no brainer. Archie pulled through and has made a full recovery. Raelynn adopted Archie and the two are inseparable. Raelynn has participated in the Rebelle Rally the last 2 years. 2024 however Raelynn had no driver and was was not planning participate in the Rebelle Rally. Somehow an opening for this year’s rally was shared with Raelynn. She didn’t have a vehicle or driver but she loves the Rally almost as much as Archie. She was talking to a Team Charity Case member and mentioned the opening and was passively talking about how she wished she could do the rally and the person went to Team Charity Case Founder Kristine and flat out asked, “hey you know that volunteer we helped a wile ago with the dog? Wanna do a Rally with her? Team Charity Case sponsors, she navigates and you Kristine drive? Whatcha think?? Kristine said HELL YEA!! The rest is history. Team Charity Case a nonprofit who helps animal rescues is teaming up with a rescue volunteer who happens to be the volunteer Team Charity Case helped out earlier that year. Even better, the 2022 Jeep 392 Rubicon is named Goodwin. Carol Goodwin was an animal advocate and incredibly active in trapping and releasing cats and dedicated her life to animal rescues and finding homes for the shelter animals. Carol Goodwin passed away a year ago. It was only fitting to honor Carol Goodwin by naming the Jeep after her. Team 101 is made up of a person who volunteers for animal rescues, another person who’s nonprofit supports animal rescues and the Jeep is named after a woman who dedicated her life to saving shelter animals. Namely cats. Team 101 dedicates this Rally to the many volunteers and organizations helping to save and improve the lives of animals.
