On Saturday, July 11 at 7:00 pm, the VHS will be hosting a livestream on their Facebook Page and YouTube Channel.
Each year, the Vanderburgh Humane Society hosts an in-person benefit dinner and auction. It is the shelter’s largest fundraising event and typically nets more than $60,000 in vital funding for the shelter’s animals and public services. But of course, COVID-19 had other plans for 2020. Like so many other organizations, the VHS has had to pivot their event to a virtual format.
Going, Going, Gone to the Dogs will be held ONLINE this year! Bidding will be open from July 6-13 at www.bidpal.net/vhsauction. Approximately 200 items will be available. On Saturday, July 11 at 7:00 pm, the VHS will be hosting a livestream on their Facebook Page and YouTube Channel. Supporters will be invited to “attend” this livestream from the comfort of their own couch, in their pajamas with their favorite beverage. VHS representatives, sponsors, and of course, animals will make appearances while fundraising for funds lost due to COVID-19!
The pets and people who utilize the VHS' services and programming (including 11 other local animal welfare organizations who also use VHS services!) are depending on them now more than ever before. The mission forges on. Now, the organization needs the Tri-State to rally together help raise the $60,000 that this event normally generates.
Bidding is 100% free. People only need to create a free OneCause account to bid. One does NOT have to have a Facebook account to participate in the livestream.
