Hosting an Event for the Ottawa Humane Society

Hosting an event in support of the Ottawa Humane Society is a great way to get you, your family, friends and colleagues involved and make a difference in the lives of Ottawa’s animals. The funds you raise will assure a future for Ottawa’s homeless animals.

Follow these easy steps to host an event for the animals:

  1. Decide on an event that you would like to host.
  2. Fill out and submit a Community Event Request Form.
  3. Host your event and have fun making a difference!
  4. Raise Funds online through My Fundraiser or offline at your event.
  5. Contact the OHS Coordinator: Events to arrange a time to bring in any offline funds raised from your event.
