Oslerbrook Golf & Country Club was the perfect spot for the Georgian Triangle Humane Society’s inaugural Spirit and Sparkle Soirée. A fun and festive crowd of animal lovers gathered in support of the vulnerable pets and people of South Georgian Bay. We raised a glass of gratitude in celebration of donor impact in 2022 while we looked forward to 2023. See more event photos here.
In the spirit of giving and festive fundraising, GTHS supporters “rang their bell for pets” to fund 12 critical care needs urgently needed for GTHS operations to continue their compassionate customized care in 2023. Stories were told, heart strings were pulled, bells rang, smiles sparkled, and community spirits blossomed as GTHS urgent needs were answered by devoted donors. Long-standing and newly inspired friends of the GTHS put their hearts together and raised over $59,000 to support GTHS operations. In case you missed it, you can still help save and change lives HERE.
They say it takes a village. At the GTHS we believe deep in our hearts it takes a region of committed community champions to enable us to continue the critical work we do. We cannot do it without our generous donors. Thank you to everyone that sponsored, attended, and funded our urgent critical care needs. We are incredibly grateful, and your support means the world to us. Each and every one of you helped give the vulnerable animals of South Georgian Bay health, hope and happiness. Your passionate participation changed lives and empowered incredible impact.
