Charities for 2024

This year we have chosen the New Hampshire SPCA as our main charity.

VISION

A Safe and Loving Home for Every Animal  

MISSION

To save the lives of companion animals through rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption; to promote learning, eliminate animal cruelty and be a leader in advancing the highest standards of animal welfare.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our Guiding Principles direct us to act in the best interest of the animals and to strengthen the human-animal bond by:

• advocating for stronger laws, enforcement and compassionate treatment of animals by being a voice for the voiceless
• remaining committed to an open admission and unlimited stay policy for companion animals
• providing individualized care for each animal to meet its specific needs
• ensuring that we are the first choice for the adoption of healthy rescued animals
• providing learning, educational and volunteer opportunities for all ages
• serving as a resource and continuing to meet community needs
• extending ourselves to further our mission
• acting in an ethical, professional, and compassionate manner
• stewarding donor resources responsibly as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that depends on private donations and fees for services

As we have in the past, we will also continue our support of the world-renowned climate research conducted at the Mount Washington Observatory. In homage to the mountain’s elevation – 6,288 feet – our event donates 6.288% of all proceeds to the Mount Washington Observatory and all of the super-cool things they do.
