Ottawa Humane Society Changes Its Garden Party to an Online Fundraiser for 2020
March 30, 2020 — The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) has made the difficult, but necessary, decision to cancel the public portion of the 20th annual OHS Garden Party. The OHS is pleased to announce the public garden party is changing to a virtual fundraising event which can be conducted in a safe, secure and convenient way.
The online auction component will be live from Friday, May 1 at 7 a.m. until Sunday, May 31 at 10 p.m.
OHS supporters are encouraged to register online to bid on a selection of experiences, gift cards, spa services, baskets, artwork and more. In order for this event to reach its goal, and for the OHS not to fall short on fundraising targets, they need your help online.
With each person’s bid, they are supporting the nearly 8,000 animals that the OHS cares for each year. With this in mind, the OHS encourages everyone to share the website link with their family, coworkers, and friends so they too can contribute to the success of this effort and win some great prizes at the same time.
In addition to the Ottawa Humane Society Virtual Garden Party event, the OHS wants to showcase all of its restaurant partners that had planned to serve delicious offerings on-site at the event. Updates on this will be available soon at www.ottawahumane.ca/gardenparty. Questions about the event can be addressed to the OHS events team at events@ottawahumane.ca or 613-725-3166, ext. 263.
The OHS thanks Ottawa for supporting this event in a different way, and helping fulfil its mission to lead Ottawa in building a humane and compassionate community for all animals.
