hawks and hounds – saturday, february 28th
Lawrence Humane presents the third annual Hawks + Hounds, an elevated and exciting KU men’s basketball watch party for 200 Jayhawk fans that also doubles as a fundraiser for the 7,000+ animals that come through our doors every year! This event will take place at Venue 1235, where guests will get to enjoy a specialty cocktail, great drinks (alcoholic and non), and delicious game day snacks. Not only will the game be shown on multiple TVs and the wall-sized projector screen, but we’ll also have fun games for participants, puppies available to cuddle, and some unique KU-related surprises! Sponsors will be featured on all Hawks + Hounds marketing, including the full-color program brochure. Sponsors will also have opportunities for complimentary tickets, access to the VIP section, designated wait staff for their guests, and complimentary bottle service!
mullie classic – monday, april 27
Mulligan (Mullie) was a puppy with a badly broken jaw when she arrived to the shelter. She lived a wonderful life advocating for the animals at Lawrence Humane. Sadly, Mullie unexpectedly passed away in September 2025 💔 It is in her honor that we will host the 4th annual Mullie Classic Golf Tournament. Taking place at the magnificent and challenging course at the Lawrence Country Club, you won’t want to miss this 25-team, 4-person scramble. Mullie Classic golfers will get to enjoy complimentary breakfast, snacks, a Bloody Mary bar, a variety of drinks (alcoholic and non), fun swag items, and entry to the 19th Hole after-party! And not only will golfers be competing for team trophies and prizes, they’ll also get to compete in fun contests along the way! Sponsors will be featured in all Mullie Classic marketing materials, including a special event scorecard. There are also opportunities to receive complimentary team entrances, include items in participant swag bags, prominent hole signage, host tables as hole sponsors, or even limited opportunities to sponsor everyone’s favorite: the beverage carts and putting contest!
clear the shelter day – aUGUST
For over a decade, Lawrence Humane has participated in a nationwide effort to get thousands and thousands of animals matched up with caring families to call their very own in A SINGLE DAY. In 2026, our goal is to make sure that a minimum of 150 animals are sleeping in their new homes at the end of the day and our kennels are empty. Every animal that’s adopted goes home spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. Each adopted animal also receives a collar, leash, and starter bag of Hill’s Science Diet pet food. Sponsorships help get these animals adoption-ready! Sponsors are included in all Clear the Shelter marketing and have opportunities to be featured on official Clear the Shelter t-shirts, participate as vendors at the event, and include promotional materials in the bags of every adopter.
fur ball – september
The Fur Ball is a lovely evening full of exciting silent and live auction items, delicious food and desserts, great drinks, a lively program, fun surprise guests, and camaraderie with fellow Lawrence Humane supporters. Last year, we celebrated with nearly 300 attendees and raised over $315,000 to support the thousands of animals that enter our shelter every year! Sponsors are featured in all Fur Ball marketing materials, including the full-color auction booklet received by every guest. There are also opportunities to receive event tickets, host a unique Lawrence Humane experience for your staff or family and friends (for example – a private happy hour at Lawrence Humane), and feature your beloved pets or highlight your favorite nonprofit (other than Lawrence Humane, of course!) to all Fur Ball guests. This year, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Lawrence Humane so Fur Ball will be bigger and better than ever before! We hope you can join us!
paw valley challenge (moving to October!)
This month-long event encourages getting outside and moving with your pets, family, and friends by walking, running, or generally moving in the way you like most! This challenge can be a fun and healthy team bonding activity (or competition!) with your staff, colleagues, family, and friends. Sponsors are featured in Paw Valley Challenge marketing and have the opportunity to be featured on the Paw Valley t-shirts, distribute promotional materials in all participants’ swag bags, sponsor a mini-challenge, and have a vendor booth at either the 20th annual Zombie Walk or 2nd annual Petchella – both of which will be incorporated into the Paw Valley Challenge this year!
