The fourth annual Mountain Mutt Mania fundraiser will support Riley’s Urgent Fund for Friends (RUFF), a local animal support nonprofit. Proceeds will benefit the Big Sky Animal Shelter, which will be included in the new Lone Peak Veterinary Hospital facility, now under construction.
The free event will take place Sunday, Sept. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Len Hill Park. Activities include an egg hunt with prizes, music from The Bo Show, carnival games, local food trucks from Yoder Cheesesteaks and Rancho Picante, desserts, drinks and a silent auction to raise money for the animal shelter. The theme is “my animal is my superhero.”
Big Sky RUFF has raised $1.15 million, with only $150,000 remaining to meet its $1.3 million goal to fund the new animal shelter, according to Dr. Stephanie “Syd” Desmarais of LPVH and RUFF.
The event will have a silent auction online starting Sept. 1.
