Bikram Yoga Studio Fundraiser
Memorial Day Weekend, from May 26th through May 28th, 2018, the Bikram Yoga Studio in Rolling Meadows will be hosting a donation drive to raise funds for Pets for Vets Chicagoland. All money received on those days will go directly to Pets for Vets Chicagoland. If you’ve wanted to learn more about the benefits of “hot yoga”, now is your chance! You can check our class times, join a class, honor our veterans, and feel good inside and out! More information is available on Bikram's Yoga site.
Chicago Red Stars “Bark in the Park”
On Sunday, July 1, 2018, Pets for Vets Chicagoland partnered with the Hinsdale Humane Society to participate in the Chicago Red Stars Soccer Team “Bark in the Park” event at Toyota Park located in Bridgeview Illinois. You and your dog are both invited to enjoy a pre-game Pet Fun Fest, receive a pup friendly gift, and stay on to watch the Chicago Red Stars face off against the Washington Spirit for an exciting National Women’s Soccer League game! A portion of each ticket purchased through our sponsored website will be donated by the Red Stars to our organization.
Reagan's 7th Birthday
Reagan mastered the unselfish act of generosity to others at a very young age. He comes from a family with a strong military background and wanted his seventh birthday money and gifts to benefit a local organization that worked with both Veterans and dogs. Reagan asked his party guests to donate to Pets for Vets Chicagoland instead of giving him presents. We are honored that Reagan chose to support Pets for Vets Chicagoland and appreciate the support from Reagan and his guests, who raised an impressive sum that will go a long way towards a Veteran-pet match.
Blum Animal Hospital
Blum Animal Hospital, located in the Lakeview neighborhood, held an item drive for Pets for Vets Chicagoland. Our car was packed to the brim with items, and we were incredibly grateful to the staff and customers for their generosity!
Pet Grooming by Amy Fundraiser
For two days in 2012, Amy Painter, the owner of Pet Grooming by Amy in Kansasville, WI, turned her business upside down for a dog wash fundraiser. She invited her loyal clients and friends to bring their pets and support Pets for Vets Chicagoland. Through her hard work (along with the hard work of everyone involved), they were able to raise $400!
We believe Amy said it best in an email reflecting on the day: "It truly was a blessing to be working today, with my boys helping out, passing on to them a love of service and giving back to the men and women who have paid so much so that we can live our lives as we do. I'm just so glad to be helping out."
Thank you so much for your hard work, time and generosity, Amy!
