The VBAS would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Burbank resident Don Burgess. In addition to adopting bonded pair Bailey and Piper (formerly Chiquis and Yumma), this year Don turned his birthday birthday into a fundraiser for the Volunteers of The Burbank Animal Shelter. Don has a tradition of hosting a big party for every birthday “that ends in a zero”, and for picking a charity for his friends to donate to in lieu of gifts. We’re not saying what the number is in front of the zero, but we can say that Don raised over $5,000 for the animals! The funds he raised will pay for two special surgeries, sponsor over 50 kittens in our kitten foster program, and pay for needed medical supplies.
Happy Birthday Don! Thank you so much for thinking of the animals!
