Many of you are aware that I am a member of the Lawrence Humane Society Board of Directors. We are in the final stages of fund raising for the new building to house our shelter. The reason I am contacting you is to ask for your support.
Cindy and I would like to raise enough money to name a room in the new shelter after Sugar Bear. Sugar Bear departed our family this month. We adopted Sugar Bear after his first parents passed away. Sugar Bear brought much happiness to our family and will be dearly missed. We have over half of the $50,000 needed already raised. We thank you in advance for any help you can provide towards our goal.
Every pet deserves a happy, healthy life. For more than 3,800 lost and homeless animals in our community each year, that chance begins at the Lawrence Humane Society.
The Lawrence Humane Society is a critically-needed local resource for Douglas County and Lawrence, but is being held back by limitations of an aging, inadequate, and failing facility that is long overdue for replacement. By building a new, state-of-the-art shelter facility, the benefits to both pets and people are clear: more lives will be saved; the number of homeless and abandoned animals will be reduced; and most importantly, families will be strengthened -- by having the space to find the right home for every pet, and by helping keep pets and people together for the long-haul.
We need the community's help to make this project a reality.
Whether you can chip in $5 or $5,000, every dollar will make a difference to the thousands of animals that will receive care, life-saving medical treatment, and love in our new facility. Donate now or become a fundraiser to help us reach our $7.5 million fundraising goal by the end of 2017.
