Thank you for considering the Humane Society of Manatee County as a beneficiary of your fundraising activities. We appreciate your deep love of animals and how that dedication can help us to save, protect and care for as many cats and dogs as possible.

Some of the events that help raise money for our efforts include golf tournaments, fun runs/walks, wine tastings, raffles, company "dress-down" days, office parties, jewelry sales, restaurant openings, or any other creative idea you have! Events can be as large or small as you like - the only limit is your imagination.

Our younger friends can also organize their own types of fundraising activities - such as hosting a birthday party where their guests bring presents for the animals, hold bake sales, car washes or drink stands. One successful fundraiser was done by a local school who held a "penny drive" for one month.  All the students brought in their pennies and $1,000 was collected!
