2026 Sponsorship Opportunities
By sponsoring our Wine and Dine event on October 17, 2026, at the Pekin Country Club, you’re doing so much more than supporting a fundraiser—you’re helping save lives. Every month, our shelter cares for about 250 animals, many of whom come to us scared, sick, or broken. Our vet bills alone reach $25,000 each month, with another $5,000 in medical and cleaning supplies just to keep up. With Ameren costing us $3,000 per month, plus internet, insurance, repairs, and all day-to-day costs of running a safe haven, it’s clear—we can’t do this without our community. Your sponsorship ensures that we can sustain the number of lives we save. Together, we can make sure every tail keeps wagging and every purr has a chance to be heard.
