Furball Sponponsorships

Whitman County Humane Society invites you to join us for the 17th Annual Kentucky Derby FurBall! Race to the rescue, and bet for a better future February 22, 2025. Doors Open at 4:30 PM for Yappy Hour.

Our community's non-profit, no-kill animal shelter continues to care for over 600 homeless animals each year until they can be placed in their forever homes. Please help us continue this important work through your sponsorship. This is an important fundraiser for WCHS, drawing in over 300 guests and providing vital funds to provide the necessary care for our animals. FurBall wouldn’t be the success that it is without the support of community members like you.
