Tree House is pleased to announce…. Tree House Humane Society’s Stray Cat Strut is a fun annual event, which helps educate the public about the plight of stray cats. The event also raises money for the rehabilitation, care and adoption of the cats housed at Tree House. The event consists of a 5 mile walk where participants begin at the Bucktown location (1629 N. Ashland) and end at the Uptown headquarters (1212 W. Carmen). Refreshments and tours will follow the walk. What is Team Tree House? Team Tree House is a community of adventurous, dedicated people who are committed to continually challenging themselves and to raising money for Tree House cats while pursuing personal goals. While many Team Tree House members choose to tackle athletic feats like a triathlon or marathon, there are lots of opportunities to participate, even if your interests are unrelated to sports How does it work? What’s exciting about becoming a Team Tree House Member is how fun and easy it is to make a difference in the lives of Chicago’s neediest cats.Once you choose your goal, you can create a unique, personalized fundraising page to tell your friends, family, and acquaintances about you, your goal, and, of course, Tree House.You can update your supporters with daily progress reports, inspiring or funny stories, and pictures.By engaging your supporters in this way, you ensure continued donations. Will my donations make a difference? Yes! And raising the money is easy! Many people think they have to donate large sums of money to make a difference, and while large donations do help, so do small ones. If 20 of your friends and family give just $10 each, that’s $200! That money goes a long way at Tree House. With $200, Tree House can: spay/neuter, treat and vaccinate 10 cats; purchase formula to enable us to save 8 newborn, orphaned kittens; or pay for a life-saving surgery for a sick or injured stray cat. You can make a difference!
