Baldwin Humane Society Raises $24,000

FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Staff and volunteers of the Baldwin Humane Society raised $24,000 for the animals in their care on June 10, when the Jordan’s Way Tour stopped in Fairhope to hold a Facebook Live fundraising event, Gulf Coast Media reported. The society was one of 300 shelters across the U.S. nominated and then selected for Jordan’s Way, which helps shelters raise money using employees and volunteers participating in activities and challenges. A group of 20 staff and volunteers were on hand throughout the fundraiser and endured pies to the face, being locked in cages with the dogs until enough money was donated to release them and buckets of icy water dumped over their heads. “This is a huge amount to raise for our organization,” said Abby Pruet, executive director of the society. “Additional funds like [these] will allow us to continue to fund our existing programs and increase the positive impact we have on the lives of homeless pets in our area.”
