We Can't Thank You Enough!!
We are so grateful for all of our Dine To Be Kind partners, including sponsors, hosting venues, and all of the
community members that came out to support this amazing cause! Our organization could not be
successful without each and every one of you, and for that, we thank you. All of our venue partners
have officially submitted their donations to Asheville Humane Society as of 6/6/2023!
Our ambitious goal was to raise $120,000…we knew it was lofty, and we didn’t reach that this year, but here’s our Grand Total:
$106,129.57
Here are some of the highlights as contributions came in!
** On 4/25/2023, we surpassed last year's Grand Total **
of $91,367.35 with 43 venue donations reported in!
** On 5/4/2023, our rising Grand Total officially went **
over $100,000 raised with 50 venue donations received!
Another tremendous thank you goes out to everyone in our community,
our sponsors, and all the venues who made this possible!
