Cheers to compassion and community! The Humane Society of Genesee County’s annual champagne brunch and auction was a resounding success, gathering animal lovers and advocates to raise both awareness and essential funds for the shelter’s ongoing mission.
This year’s reverse auction raised nearly $35,000 specifically earmarked to purchase food for the shelter animals. Thanks to this generosity, the shelter was able to begin using the funds immediately to fill furry bellies.
Nearly every adoptable animal present at the event found their forever homes – except for sweet Foxy, who stole hearts in her floral accessory and still hopes for a family of her own.
Emcee Jeremy Fenech of Cars 108 and Auctioneer Ashley Peters kept the atmosphere energized during the spirited live auction bidding. Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson paid a special visit, speaking about the good work of HSGC and in support of the Protect MI Pet Ballot Initiative. Protect MI Pet aims to establish a public registry of convicted animal abusers and reform laws to prevent innocent animals from being held for months while cases are pending.
