FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 14, 2013

Support The Seattle Humane Society on Wed. May 15, during The Seattle Foundation’s 2013 GiveBIG event. The Seattle Humane Society will be participating in this online fundraiser, which encourages individuals to give generously and helps make our region a more vital place to live. Donations made through The Seattle Foundation and on behalf of Seattle Humane will help raise life-saving funds for the animals at the shelter.

When you give to Seattle Humane on the Seattle Foundation website at seattlefoundation.org, we’ll receive a portion of matching funds from the “stretch” pool, and the more we raise, the greater our match will be. Also, when you donate during GiveBIG, you may win a Golden Ticket for a $100 Starbucks gift card that also provides Seattle Humane with a donation of $1,000.

Last year, nearly $23,000 was raised for Seattle Humane through GiveBIG, allowing us to transfer more than 230 loving animals from shelters where they had run out of time and to perform more than 460 spay/neuter surgeries. This year’s goal of $25,000 will save even more lives and provide more surgeries to reduce pet overpopulation and homelessness.
