~ See your favorite Adopt staff and your adoption community (of course!)

We can't wait to see you there!

P.S. - We're trying a new platform this year so a few notes -

GiveButter is a free platform (yay!) but because of this the checkout window defaults to adding a 15% "tip" that covers their processing fees and cost of doing business. You can adjust this amount or opt out entirely by choosing "Other" in the tip percentage drop down menu.

We're trying to raise $40K for our 40th - you can check our page's fundraising tracker to see our progress update live!

If you'd like to get in on supporting Adopt by reaching out to your family and friends, you can join our 40th Anniversary fundraising team by setting up your own fundraising page on our event page.
