The Fur Ball

The Fur Ball, our organization's largest fundraiser, has been an annual, semi-formal event and silent auction where all proceeds directly benefit our building fund. Community businesses purchase sponsorships and volunteers put on the event. About 400 people attend each year.  Money is raised through ticket sales, business sponsorships, and a silent auction.

Carols in the Park
Each year the Humane Society has a booth in Carols in the Park where we sell various handmade items to help raise funds for the animals.  If you enjoy doing crafts and would like to help out by making some items for us please call the shelter at 863-324-5227.  We also have a lot of fun just mingling with the people and letting people know about our services.
