Dear Friend of the Animals, The Humane Society of the Treasure Coast has several events throughout the year, but this is one that you do not want to miss. The 17th annual ‘Mutt March’ will take place on Saturday, March 28th at Memorial Park in downtown Stuart, FL. Mutt March is our largest community fundraiser where children and families, adults of all ages, and their dogs come together to support HSTC. Activities include a 5k race, Doggie Lure Course, Derby Races, kids’ corner and much, much more. Proceeds from this event help provide safe shelter, food, and veterinary care for more than 5,000 abused, abandoned and neglected animals that come through our doors annually. Funds raised also help support our community outreach programs, such as the award winning ‘Paws to Read’ literacy program. New this year: Entry Fee: It is FREE! In year’s past entry was anywhere from $15-$25. Collaboration: We are partnering with the City of Stuart’s ‘Waterfest’, and Students4H2O to increase attendance! Event Date: After years of holding this event in late October/early November, we have decided to move the event to March. This will help to increase participation from our more seasonal residents and their families. Promotion: We have increased our advertising and marketing efforts to include new mediums and platforms to ensure attendance and participation and exposure for our sponsors and underwriters. The success of our shelter and our programs depend entirely upon community support. We’re not affiliated with any other humane society, nor funded by the Humane Society of the United States. We cannot do it without you. We hope that you see our sponsorship opportunities as a “partnership” and a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties. Please keep in mind that these packages are completely customizable to fit the needs of your business. We want to work with you to get your business the most exposure possible and to meet your budget and marketing needs. We have several other events and programs that could use your support, so ask about our annual sponsorship packages so we can maximize your exposure. We appreciate your consideration and your support for our community. We look forward to partnering with you soon. Thank you for being a friend to the animals!
