Maggie May's has had a fundraiser for the Humane Society Yukon since July 7, 2009. It was originaly supposed to go until August 7, but since it is doing so well, it will continue until September 30, 2009 when it will close down for the season.
Maggie May's has raised just over $500 for the Bella-Fund! The fund was created to help unfortunate animals that find themselves in need of special treatment and surgeries, i.e. dental work, amputation, etc.

The "Last Chance - Big Splash" event at the Whitehorse Lion's Aquatic Centre was a huge success! On Friday, Aug 22, 2008, well over 75 dogs brought their owners out for a wet and wild adventure filled evening and raised over $650 for their friends at the Shelter.
