Welcome to My Personal Fundraising Page!
Hello friends and family!
Thanks so much for visiting my personal 2019 Chicago Marathon fundraising page, and for considering a donation to the Anti-Cruelty Society.
Adopting my cat Benji from the Anti-Cruelty Society just over five years ago was one of the best decisions I've ever made and was a truly amazing experience from start to finish. I'm incredibly proud to be running in support of such an honorable organization that works hard every day to find forever families for so many homeless pets. I appreciate anything you're able to give to help me reach my goal, and I encourage you to read more about the history and mission of the Anti Cruelty Society below.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

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. By choosing to give to the Anti-Cruelty Society, you are making a difference to each and every one of the animals that comes to us in search of hope, comfort, and healing.
