Tabby’s Place Fundraiser 2020

***EVENT CLOSED***

Due to the generosity of many of you, along with others, we raised $1410 for Tabby’s Place in monies, along with $600 from sponsors, bringing the total raised to $2010. Not bad considering we had initially thought we’d have to cancel our fundraising efforts all together when we canceled our conference.

We also raised over $12,300 in product and prizes, bringing the full fundraising effort to an amazing total of $14,310!

In case you missed it, here’s the link to our Facebook live event where Dawn White of Lola the Rescued Cat presented the check in person and drew the raffle winners names:
