INDY MEGA ADOPTION EVENT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
June 22/23 2019 Indiana State Fairgrounds WHAT IS THE
ABOUT THE EVENT
Held two weekends each year, the Indy Mega Adoption Events are two-day pet adoption extravaganzas at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Participating central Indiana animal shelters and rescues bring thousands of adoptable pets together under one roof to offer potential pet parents the opportunity to take home a dog or cat at a reduced adoption fee. All animals are fixed, microchipped, and ready to take home that day. The event is free to the public with the opportunity to purchase an early bird entry for $15 (parking at the fairgrounds is $8).
2019 marks the the sixth year for the Indy Mega Adoption Events. In 2018 alone the events in June and October saw lines of potential pet parents wrapped around the building and nearly 1,400 cats and dogs placed in loving forever homes. COMMUNITY IMPACT
Thanks to events like the Mega Adoption Event and increased awareness about the plight of shelter animals, we have come a long way over the past few years. Just a few years ago, as many as 22,000 animals were euthanized in Indianapolis shelters each year.
Today in Indianapolis, the number is down to less than 1,900 annually. But we believe that’s still far too many. Healthy pets are being put down each year because there simply isn’t enough space to shelter them.
Our city has a wealth of people dedicated to animal welfare and remarkable rescue groups and shelters. By working together, we can achieve our common goal: more pets in more loving homes. By placing animals in homes, we free up shelter space to accommodate animals from high-kill shelters. Together, we can realize our ultimate goal: to make central Indiana an area where no healthy animals are euthanized.
INDY MEGA IS A NON PROFIT EVENT
INDY MEGA‘s fiscal agent for 2019 is FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic which is Indianapolis’ only high-volume, low-cost animal clinic. FACE is committed to providing accessible and affordable services six days a week. Ultimately, their work has the desired end goal of saving all companion animals by increasing access to spay/neuter services and wellness care. They are focused on reducing the barriers to pet ownership, while keeping animals with their families and out of area shelters. FACE is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
