A fundraiser for the Cedar Bend Humane Society

Last year, we were able to raise over $200 for the Cedar Bend Humane Society and we hope to beat that record this year.

We hope you will join us in supporting the Cedar Bend Humane Society. You can donate in person at the event, or through our PayPal fundraising link below. All of the donations collected will be going directly to the Cedar Bend Humane Society. Your support will help to provide food, shelter, and medical care for animals in need.
