New Venue, New Views!
We are thrilled to announce that this year’s event has moved to a stunning new location: Hog’s Back Park. While we’ve loved our time at the Great Lawn, this new setting offers a beautiful natural backdrop with riverside views and plenty of shade. Get ready for an unforgettable day, and relax by the falls under the open sky!
VIP Fundraiser Contest
Go the extra mile for Ottawa's homeless animals and you could be packing your bags for an unforgettable getaway.
Fundraisers who raise $500 or more will automatically be entered into our VIP Fundraiser Contest for a chance to win a $5,000 travel voucher, courtesy of Flight Centre Westboro.
The best part? The more you raise, the more chances you have to win.
Earn one entry for every $500 raised:
- $500 raised = 1 entry
- $1,000 raised = 2 entries
- $1,500 raised = 3 entries
- $2,000 raised = 4 entries
- And so on!
Every donation helps provide care, shelter, and second chances to animals in need. By reaching VIP status, you'll not only make an even bigger impact—you'll increase your odds of winning the trip of a lifetime.
Fundraise more. Help more animals. Earn more chances to win. 🐾✈️
