The Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter (VBAS) and the animals of the Burbank Animal Shelter were the recipients of some very generous community fundraisers this month.

Photo by Deborah DodgeThank you Deborah for organizing, the VFW Social Hall for hosting, and everyone who came out to the event! All of the volunteers and residents truly appreciate your generosity and support!
Every May, Burbank resident and animal lover, William Hadley, hosts a Kentucky Derby Party with his friends and family. This year he made it into a fundraiser for the animals and raised $1,541! That will sponsor 25 kittens in our kitten foster program! Thank you William!
In addition to all of this, several local heroes helped raise money for the VBAS on their birthdays. Volunteer Steve Dealph organized a birthday brunch at Simmzy’s that raised over $1,000. Brittany Abril, Hannah Low and Cameron Wardlaw (for the second year in a row. Thanks Cameron!), turned their birthdays in to fundraisers for the VBAS on Facebook. Together they raised $985! These funds will help pay for our next special surgery.
Thank you again to everyone who generously donated their time, special events, and birthdays and turned them into fundraisers for the animals at the shelter. Because of you, more animals are being saved!
