TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A local animal shelter’s efforts to care for animals received a boost of support Friday thanks to a college campus fraternity.
From March 28 through April 1, the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity at Indiana State University hosted a fundraiser called Dog Days. The effort benefits the Terre Haute Humane Society.
Organizers say the program usually raises around $2,500, but this year with events on campus and help from the community they surpassed that amount by a large margin, raising over $4,700.
I knew I had reached out to good local businesses and I knew that they would be wanting to donate and I rallied the brothers in our fraternity and I got them all excited so it was a pretty good turnout.
