Help Keep Hope Alive for Animals

MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Humane Society will be shining bright this holiday season with thousands of holiday lights in honor of homeless animals at both their Milwaukee and Ozaukee Campuses. The Hope’s Lights events are lighting ceremonies that are free to the public. The event schedule is as follows:

• Saturday, December 3, 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the WHS Ozaukee Campus at 630 W. Dekora Street in Saukville

• Sunday, December 4, 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Wisconsin Humane Society, 4500 W. Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee

In addition to the building and grounds being brilliantly illuminated with lights, the celebration will include treats, a program featuring animal guests of honor; tours of WHS and even the children’s “Gosling Guild” and “Club BARK” groups caroling throughout the buildings. Karen Dalessandro from FM 106.1 will be this year’s emcee at the Milwaukee celebration and Barb Dickmann, Village of Saukville’s President, will be presenting the countdown at the Ozaukee Campus.

To purchase a white light, which represents the memory of a loved one, or a colored light representing a living person or companion animal for $20 each, contact the Wisconsin Humane Society at www.wihumane.org or call (414) 431-6121.
