March Muttness – The Ultimate Showdown Where Compassion Meets Competition
Did you know that around 3 million dogs enter animal shelters across the US every year? Of those, around 25% find their way back to their owners, and approximately 13% are euthanized.1 Sadly, this number is going up each year. With the ever-increasing cost of living, more and more dog owners are finding themselves unable to care for their pets, resulting in many being surrendered or abandoned. Animal shelters are bursting at the seams and in desperate need of financial support.
Enter March Muttness
For the past few years, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona has hosted a unique program to incentivize shelters, humane societies, and rescue organizations from across the U.S. to boost their fundraising efforts. In a single elimination-style tournament, 35 organizations from across the country are competing to see who can raise the most donations. The teams with the highest fundraising totals advance through each round, all leading up to the championship! Every dollar donated helps shelters continue their lifesaving work while making the tournament even more exciting for supporters.
Originally founded as a bold response to the cancellation of in-person fundraising events during the COVID-19 pandemic, March Muttness has transformed into an electrifying annual tradition, proving that team spirit and generosity can change lives.
