Help Us Raise Funds
Join Team Tree House - Share Your Love of Cats (or Dogs!) with the World, Help Tree House, and Win Great Prizes!
Team Tree House is a community of dedicated animal lovers who are committed to raising money for Tree House while pursuing personal goals. Some Team Tree House members choose to tackle athletic feats like a marathon or mountain climbing, but there are lots of opportunities to participate, even if your interests are unrelated to sports. Once you choose your goal, you can create a unique, personalized fundraising plan to tell your friends, family, and thousands of Tree House supporters about you, your goal, and, of course, Tree House. You can update your supporters with progress reports, inspiring or funny stories, and pictures. By engaging your supporters in this way, you ensure continued donations, immense personal satisfaction, and the chance to win great prizes!
