Every spring, more than 100 animal lovers gather at beautiful Southern Exposure Herb Farm for a very special event. The evening, which benefits the animals at the shelter as a signature fundraising event, includes six different wines, fantastic food prepared by Chef Elsie and a breathtaking atmosphere. All proceeds go directly to supporting shelter operations.

The Humane Society of South Central Michigan is donor-driven. Approximately 87 percent of our funding comes through the support of generous people who care about companion animals in our community. The remaining 13 percent of our funding comes through service fees. HSSCM does not hold the City or County animal control contracts, and does not receive governmental or tax dollar support.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 through sponsorships, donations and ticket sales for the event. Funds raised through this event enable the organization to maintain and develop programs that reach out beyond our walls to prevent animals from becoming homeless. All sponsors will have their business name on table tents and a list will be
included in the agency’s newsletter which reaches over 2,500 homes.

With innovative programs that attack the root of the problem, coupled with educational efforts, we are determined to change the face of unwanted animals in this community, one dog and cat at a time. Your support helps to
run the programs and wage the battle against ignorance, abuse and apathy towards animals. We are creating a more humane community thanks to you.
