Donations to the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast on “Giving Tuesday” will be doubled
PALM CITY, Fla. — “Giving Tuesday” is December 3, 2024, and a generous donor from the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast will be doubling all donations on that day up to $30,000. Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
The humane society is hoping the matching gift on Giving Tuesday will motivate supporters to donate on that day. The goal is to raise $30,000 to support discounted obedience classes for families in the community who need it most.
“On December 3, we will be asking all animal lovers and philanthropic-minded people to consider making a gift toward our Giving Tuesday campaign so we can increase the number of discounted training and obedience classes available,” said Development Manager Ashton Sorrentino. “Despite loving their animals, many families who struggle to care for their pet with behavior issues believe that surrendering them to the shelter is their only option, and we’re here to help!”
The Pawsitive Manners Club is a surrender prevention program that provides necessary resources and support through a multitude of obedience classes to help a dog become the best version of itself. Funds raised during the Giving Tuesday campaign will make access to these valuable resources available at low cost – or even no cost – to those in need.
Dog owners can find out if they qualify for discounted classes by visiting https://hstc1.org/PawsitiveManners or contacting Tracy Steffen at tsteffen@hstc1.org.
