LETTER TO THE EDITOR: SHS thanks Boca Grande for such amazing support

To the Editor:

On behalf of Suncoast Humane Society, we wish to thank the Boca Grande community for their overwhelming support of the second Annual Dogs for Dogs Fundraiser held March 18th. Over $20,000 was raised in support of Suncoast’s mission to provide programs, services and support of pets and the people who love them, including sheltering, and fostering strategies, prevention clinics to reduce overpopulation, vaccinations and other preventative care, and extensive community outreach programs such as behavior training and pet therapy.  

More information can be found on our website www.humane.org.or @suncoasthumanesociety on Facebook. If you missed this event and are interested in donating or volunteering please reach out. 

We also wish to especially thank The Gasparilla Inn for their kind support of the event and to the Green Flash Band and the Fat City Band for providing outstanding musical entertainment all night long.  It was inspiring to see so many of our friends and supporters come together to dance and enjoy one another’s company for this good cause.  Sincere thanks to all who gave so generously and supported this event. We look forward to seeing you next year!
