|
Choose a Date |
You are welcome to choose your own date in October to enjoy your activity. You can marathon on one day, or every day for a week! This is your event! You will ask for donations to support your own Facebook Fundraiser.
|
Choose a Goal |
Create your own Facebook Fundraiser benefiting Cape Ann Animal Aid. You can choose any amount for your goal - some Fundraisers will raise $50, some $500! Any amount helps animals in need and makes an impact!

Whether your pet enjoys life on the Fast and Furrious side or prefers to be more of a critter sitter, we know they will enjoy dressing up to show their support. We encourage all fundraisers to embrace the Halloween spirit by dressing your pet up for your event! Need a costume? Reach out to us and you can pick one up! CAAA will celebrate everyone's fundraisers at the end of the month with a Halloween costume parade with our own adoptables LIVE on our Facebook page! (Dressing up is optional)
