All proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit
"The Big Fix", the no-kill shelter’s low cost sliding scale spay/neuter voucher program which helps the dogs and cats of qualifying Sumter County residents while reducing both pet homelessness and pet over-population within Sumter County. Robin Gump, agent/owner of Mid-Florida Agencies/Florida Blue Medicare and one of the supporting sponsors of the dinner said,
“I wanted to help fund the shelter’s necessary S/N program but bring it back bigger and better. It is so great to see wonderful local businesses who cared all come aboard in a huge show of support because they love animals as much as I do.” Supporters of the program can also simply make a tax-deductible donation directly at
Donate – Your Humane Society SPCA and earmark it to “The Big Fix” if they cannot attend the dinner as it costs YOUR Humane Society SPCA approximately $100/pet for each voucher. 624 spay/neuter vouchers were redeemed in 2019 and can only continue with public support.
