We want our community to win big this summer!
Share, purchase and spread awareness of Parachutes for Pets this summer with our Summer 50-50 cash raffle.
Our calls for help are far outweighing our donations and we are trying to raise funds before we need to pause important programming due to lack of funds. All funds from this 50-50 cash draw will support our core programing that support seniors, veterans, those finding themselves homeless and so many more unforseen circumstances.
Learn more and better your odds for some extra summer cash!
