Special Event

Committees

MCHS is seeking energetic and passionate committee members for our two signature events -- Paws in the Park and the Love Ball. Your service on these committees will help us make these events better than ever and proceeds directly benefit homeless, abandoned and abused animals in our care.

Committees meet from 6–7pm on Tuesdays or Wednesdays with 10 – 15 meetings for each event. Outside of meetings, time commitments and are based upon your availability, and we can discuss your areas of interest. Help us by bringing your fundraising or business experience and your connections.
