Walk for Animals raises 88K for Central Vermont Humane
Our Forever Home series took us to Montpelier over the weekend to attend and be part of Central Vermont Humane Society's 'Walk for Animals'. We're taking you through the sights, sounds, and 'floofiness' of what was a record breaking day for CVHS! The 'Walk for Animals' event began early Saturday morning under a veil of doomy and gloomy conditions. However, SkyTracker Meteorologist Alex Wasilenko, serving as Master of Ceremonies, would not let it rain on the CVHS parade. The actual mile long stroll around downtown Montpelier was just one of the fun activities set up for the day. There were also nearly twenty vendors and sponsors set up on the Statehouse front lawn. They were giving away free swag, prizes, and even had raffles to enter. Outside of the sponsorship tents, like-minded animal advocates were mingling and showing off their adorable doggos. Some of the top highlights of the fundraiser included the dog trick contest, the dog costume contest, and the announcing of awards at the end of the walk. The top sponsor, kid, and adult fundraisers were given plaques for their achievements and accomplishments. When all was said and done, 'Walk for Animals' broke their all-time fundraising record by tallying over $88,000. That blew their original $80,000 goal out of the water. WOW! A huge thanks to the outside donators and 'Walk for Animals' participants for helping raise a tremendous amount of money for animals in need across the communities the Central Vermont Humane Society serves.
