In 1986, the Fido Fun Run was started as our fund raiser for the Eau Claire County Humane Association and has become a popular community event. Always held on a Saturday in May, the number of registrants continues to grow. Each participant receives a t-shirt, and each accompanying pet receives a tag in the shape of a gold star that states "Fido Fun Run." Non-alcoholic drinks, lunch, and desserts are available to purchase to support the shelter. The dogs are treated to yummy dog biscuits!

The 23rd Annual Fido Fun Run was held on May 16, 2009. Financially $20,500 was raised to directly benefit the Eau Claire County Humane Association. Statistics for 2009 were: Participation: 325 people, 260 dogs, and at least 1 cat! In 2008, $18,000 (a record year at that time!) was raised. All of the funds collected during this event help to care for the many homeless animals that come to the shelter each day.

We all look forward to next years event!!
