Alexa's Fundraiser for Anti-Cruelty!
The 2020 Marathon: Mission Possible!
I ran the Chicago Marathon as my first marathon in 2019, and I crossed that finish line a different person! As a rescue pet parent, The Anti-Cruelty Society is near and dear to my heart, and I am honored to be running for them again for my second marathon. While Chicago may be canceled for 2020, I am STILL running the virtual marathon on the Lakefront Trail on October 10th! These are unprecedented times, and shelter pets need our help more than ever. Please help me to continue to support Anti-Cruelty's valuable and life-saving mission!
About The Anti-Cruelty Society
In 1899, Rose Fay Thomas, wife of Chicago Symphony Orchestra founder Theodore Thomas, established The Anti-Cruelty Society and forever changed the landscape of animal welfare throughout the Chicago region. Since that time, the Society has endured as Chicago's oldest and largest open admission animal welfare organization, one that provides a wide breadth of programs that save the lives of thousands of animals each year. A certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the recipient of a four-star Charity Navigator rating, The Anti-Cruelty Society’s mission is to build a community of caring by helping pets and educating people.
Today, The Anti-Cruelty Society remains the oldest and the largest open admission animal welfare organization in Chicago. All animals are welcome at the Society every day of the year. We never turn an animal away from our doors. Ever. And once an animal is admitted, they can stay as long as it takes to find their forever home.
However, the care that we provide to animals in need is only possible through the friendship and support of our community. And by choosing to donate to Team Anti-Cruelty, you are making a difference to each and every one of the animals that comes to us in search of hope, comfort, and healing.
