Third-party fundraisers are events or activities planned, hosted, and executed by individuals, families, companies, and groups for the purpose of raising funds to donate to SCARS. These donations provide significant revenue for SCARS every year and valuable community exposure.

You can turn anything that you love into an activity that directly improves the lives of animals in Alberta. Help SCARS fund rescue, veterinary care, finding forever homes for the animals in our care, and our community programs.

  • Event listed in our monthly electronic newsletter (if you give SCARS enough advance notice).

Of note…

If you would like us to attend your event, we are happy to do so depending on volunteer availability. If we do attend your event, we may promote it on our website and social media regardless of how much you intend to raise.

Please note that the amount of social media promotion we can offer also depends on the size and timing of your event. We ask that do not rely exclusively on SCARS for promotions as we already have our own campaigns to promote animals in care, fundraising events, and community programs.
