All event proceeds help purchase trauma kits for the classrooms of our local school children. Most school incidents are over before the emergency personnel arrive at the school, so this partnership aims at giving every classroom in the HSE School District the supplies they need in the event of a traumatic injuries, allowing for quick attention and care that currently isn’t able to be done.

Enjoy this family-friendly event for a GREAT cause!

Ways That You Can Help Make a Difference!

humanesocietyIt should come as no surprise that I am, at heart, an animal lover, which is why I am a strong and vocal supporter of the Humane Society for Hamiltondogincage County and all that they represent.  Without such well organized and well executed programs it’s no telling what would happen to all of the amazing cats and dogs that they rescue on a daily basis.  Did you also know there are so many ways in which you can help the Hamilton County Humane Society?  Not only are they always in need of donations because caring for, treating, feeding, and housing the communities unwanted and uncared for animals is certainly not cheap but they also have volunteer opportunities as well.  This would be an ideal way to get your family involved in the community and in doing so, teaching your children to give back.  Fostering an animal until a forever home is available is also a wonderful way to help out the humane society and allow the animal to live outside the confines of a cage while it awaits a loving family.  The Humane Society also has a wish list posted of items and supplies that they are in need of that you could pick up on your next grocery trip.  This is only a select few of the ways that you can get involved.  Plus don’t forget that they are featuring some “Spook-tacular” reduced adoption fees on orange and black cats as well as black and brindle dogs.  This would be a wonderful time to open your home and heart to a four legged friend.
