We do this for the animals. It began with an idea to help
Helping Hands Humane Society move in to their new building on 21st
Street. Now they have more room to expand their programs and provide
education to the community. We work hard to ensure 100% of your
registration fee goes directly to HHHS, and the funds are benefiting the
animals and their care (more info on back page). To date, we’ve been able
to do this thanks to our sponsors and donations from you. We will have
adoptable dogs and cats on site the day of our event. Come out and give
them some love. This event provides additional exposure for the animals,
helping them find their forever home. Thank you for your support!
