Raising Money for the Kitties!

Each year, the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee takes part in Dog-A-Thon, a walk for homeless animals and major fundraiser for our shelter, The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County. In our eight years of participating, the community following the IBKC has generously donated a hair less than $750,000.00 during our fundraising campaigns. All of these generous donations have allowed our shelter to do amazing things for our homeless cat population in Tacoma and surrounding communities.

Here's a re-cap of our past few years of fundraising:
