Bay State Animal Cooperative Gears Up for Biggest Fundraiser of the Year

 The thermometer may still be showing low New England numbers, but the Bay State Animal Cooperative is already preparing for its most anticipated and impactful fundraiser of the year, the Annual June Car and Dog Wash. This event is a community favorite that combines fun, teamwork, and lifesaving support for cats in need.

This lively event brings together volunteers, animal lovers, and local residents for a day of suds, smiles, and fundraising, with all proceeds going directly toward medical care, food, litter, and supplies for rescued cats, including those in long-term foster homes.

It’s a rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys event planning, community involvement, and making a direct impact on animal welfare.
