As you may have seen if you have picked up one of our event flyers, we are working for the first time with a local charity; for this exciting new addition to the Furry Picnic, we have chosen the Connecticut Humane Society.
The Connecticut Humane Society in a non-profit (501c3) charity, founded in 1881, located at three sites in CT; Newington, Westport, and Waterford, with a mission statement describing themselves as; “the leading resource in the state for companion animal welfare, enriching the lives of families and communities through adoption services, medical care, education, and prevention of cruelty.”
Not only will we be accepting donations with CHS at the Furry Picnic, but they will also be at the event, educating and sharing about their organization, and selling various merchandise to raise funds and awareness!
So please, enjoy your time chatting with the ambassadors from the charity, give as generously as you can, and remember, 100% of donations to the Connecticut Humane Society goes towards the animals in their care!
