Iron Horse Half Marathon

We are excited to announce that the Woodford Humane Society has been selected to receive the partial proceeds from the Iron Horse Half Marathon again this year. We are responsible for supplying volunteers, food and drinks for the event, which will raise roughly $10,000 for the animals. This event is a crucial part of raising funds necessary to care for so many orphaned animals throughout the year. Without government funding at any level, the Woodford Humane Society is completely dependent on private donations and fundraising events such as the Iron Horse Half Marathon to continue to provide care for over 1,000 homeless animals each year. We are wondering if any students or clubs with members at least 14 would like to volunteer some morning time at the event, which will take place on Sunday, October 15th in Midway. We would greatly appreciate any possible volunteers. Volunteers are allowed and encouraged to Decorate their stops as long as it does not obstruct the racers in any way. If this is something that you would like to participate in please contact the email listed in this profile. If you are unable to help out on race day we are also in need of volunteers to distribute flyers prior to the event. Day of volunteers would be needed from 6:00a - 11:30a on Sunday, October 15 in Midway. Flyer distribution would be happening in two waves and each person would have a pre-mapped out portion of Midway to cover. The flyers do not have to be done in one day but rather over the course of a week. The dates are the week of September 11 and October 2. Please let me know if you have any questions and would like to sign up. Thank you and have a great day.

Mission Statement

At the Woodford Humane Society, we are striving to accomplish this mission through four areas, coined SAVE: Spay/Neuter, Adopt, Volunteer, and Educate.

Description

The Woodford Humane Society is a non-profit animal adoption center in Versailles, Kentucky. We care for the homeless and unwanted animals in Woodford County, surrounding counties, as well as animals from other states. We have welcomed thousands of animals since 1975 and strive to find good, loving homes for all of them. A careful screening process helps us match the right animals to the right adoptive homes.

With no government funding, we are completely dependent on private contributions to continue to provide care to 1,200 animals each year. Since 2007, we have placed 90% of our animals into their forever homes! The national average is around 25%.
