(KAIR)--Last Saturday is considered a success, with activities ranging from a petting zoo to a coed-sand volleyball tournament, raising more than $1,000 for the Atchison Humane Society.
According to a social media post, the organization earned $1,300 from the day's fundraising activities, which also included a wide variety of silent auction items that helped secure the funds. The money is earmarked to be used toward the homeless pets residing at the Atchison shelter.
The organization credits Trina Earl, Director of the Doniphan County Pet Rescue, an ongoing partner of the Atchison rescue, for providing the petting zoo, while the attendance of the Atchison County Sheriff- Office K9 team is also commended.
The fundraiser was held at Atchison's Jackson Park, with the volleyball tournament held well into the evening.
