WHY:
|
|
Annual fundraiser for the Galveston Island Humane Society who maintains daily shelter operations, and provides health examinations, medicines, and food for over 2,500 homeless animals. The support of the community is critical to ensure the ever expanding needs of our community’s homeless animal population are met. Without the community’s financial and in-kind support, such programs as cruelty investigations, spay/neuter assistance program, heartworm assistance program, and the emergency care fund would not be possible.
