Sponsorship Opportunities

GCHS would be honored and grateful for your sponsorship of our 12th Fast & Furriest 5k/1 Mile Fun Walk. Your sponsorship will support the mission of our no-kill shelter that rescues and cares for thousands of animals in need every year.

In 1947, the Gulf Coast Humane Society was established as the first non-profit animal welfare organization in southwest Florida. For the past 74 years, GCHS has rescued, cared for, and found forever homes for tens of thousands of abused and neglected dogs and cats – animals in need, abandoned and deserving of a second chance. We do this without one tax dollar from any federal, state or county government. We also do not receive any funding from the Humane Society of the United States or any other national animal welfare organizations. One-hundred percent of our funding is derived from individual and corporate donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events.
