Overview of Third Party Events

The Animal Rescue League of Fall River, is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization. Since 1914, we have been protecting and enhancing the lives of abused, abandoned, neglected, and homeless animals. We are a No-Kill Shelter. We rely on support from individuals, families, private foundations, and through special events. We do not receive any Federal, State, or local funding.

Third Party Fundraising Events

We hold several large scale events during the year, such as our “Evening to Paws” Gala in the fall. There are many companies and supporters of our mission can choose to hold their own fundraisers and item collection opportunities. The “Third Party Fundraisers” play a significant role in showcasing the life–saving programs of the League, as well as, helping the League raise additional funds to help the animals in our care.

We ask that you contact John Panarese at 508-646-9663 or email John@ARLFR.Org if you would like to plan a fundraiser for the organization.

There are many ways you can create your own fundraising event for the animals. Your company, organization, or friends can sponsor a golf tournament. Supporters of the League have also hosted cocktail parties, softball and wiffleball tournaments, bake sales, comedy night, concerts, barbecues, bowling tournament, dress down Friday, themed company events, and home party shows.
