Humane Society sweating for a good cause

The staff of The Branson Humane Society is having a little friendly competition—and raising money while doing so.

Staff members Cleveland, Victoria and Erick are raising money for the Humane Society in a very unique way. Cleveland is representing the Doggie District and is trying to raise $4,100 for new Kuranda Shelter Beds, elevated dog beds that run $85 to $150 a piece. Victoria, representing Kitty City, hopes to raise $1,000 to build a deluxe cat condo for the shelter's feline friends. Erick, who represents Snip City, the new spay and neuter clinic, wants to purchase two Stanfield Pet Heating mats for the clinic, at a cost of $1,000.

While all items on the trio's wish list are worthwhile, they are also just out of the Humane Society's budget. That's why Cleveland, Victoria and Erick came up with an idea—Sweating for a Cause. The three hope to raise the money by doing pushups and burpees, and they need the community's help.  

Helping the group raise money is simple: Pick your team—Team Cleveland, Team Victoria, or Team Erick. Donate directly to their team through the Branson Humane Society Facebook Page or by calling the Humane Society. You set the donation amount and what you want the team to do. Pushups are $1 each and Burpees are just $5 each.  

Join in the fun, cheer on your team, donate to a great cause and help make a difference for the animals at the Branson Humane Society. Find out more online at the Branson Humane Society Adoption Center and Thrift Stores or by calling 417-337-7387.
