A record year for the 24th Annual Lawn Party!!

Joined by a crowd of over 300 people, the Idaho Humane Society hosted its annual fundraising event, the Lawn Party. It was a record breaking year with over $200,000 raised to build a new, centrally located animal shelter as part of our Designed to be Kind Capital Campaign.

A beautiful evening for the annual Lawn Party!

One of the many highlights of the night was the "fund-a-need" portion of the program where guests are invited to make a contribution to a featured project at the shelter.  This year the IHS asked for support to build play yards for our dogs at the new facility.  We were absolutely overwhelmed with the outpouring of support for this project from our guests at the Lawn Party. Almost $53,000 was donated to build the play yards!

Picture this: twenty shelter dogs gleefully running and playing in a large grassy area.  There are pools to splash in and plenty of shade to relax in.  Volunteers begin throwing a ball for several of the four legged friends to play fetch. This is the vision we have for play yards at the new facility.  We want to design a space that is available for shelter pets to spend much needed time in the beautiful outdoors.  It is vital to the health of shelter pets that the receive proper exercise and adequate time outdoors.  Currently, our shelter pets don't have the opportunity to spend much time outside.  The Idaho Humane Society wants to address this problem by building play yards at our new facility and we need YOUR help.

Our goal is to raise $2,000 more to build the play yards. Would you consider helping us reach that goal? Please consider making a donation to fund this amazing project as part of the Designed to be Kind Capital Campaign. Please click here to donate to the Play Yard project!
