Munchbird Proudly Sponsors Anti-Cruelty's 30th Annual BARK Fundraiser to Celebrate 125 Years of Caring for Chicago's Animals
CHICAGO, 4.15.2024 - Munchbird, a Chicago-based, woman-owned dog treat brand, is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of Anti-Cruelty’s 30th Annual BARK, Chicago's oldest dog-friendly, outdoor fundraiser. This event, dedicated to raising funds for Anti-Cruelty's mission, promises a day filled with joy, compassion, and celebration of our beloved four-legged friends.
Founded by a passionate dog lover and entrepreneur, Munchbird has quickly become a local favorite among pet owners in Chicago. Known for its gourmet, all-natural pet treats crafted with love and care, Munchbird is more than just a pet treat company—it's a community of animal lovers committed to making a difference.
"We're proud to be a woman-owned business in Chicago, making a positive impact in the lives of pets and their owners," said Kai Lu, Founder and CEO of Munchbird. "Our partnership with Anti-Cruelty for BARK reflects our shared values and commitment to creating a humane Chicago where pets and people thrive together."
As part of Anti-Cruelty's 125-year legacy of caring, BARK aims to raise $250,000 to shelter, feed, and care for over 20,000 animals this year. This landmark event will bring together more than 1,200 dog lovers, their furry companions, and advocates for animal welfare.
Participants of BARK form teams and rally support in the months leading up to the event, culminating in a festive gathering at Soldier Field. The day kicks off with a scenic 2-mile walk along Chicago’s beautiful lakefront, followed by the ultimate Pup Party featuring food, beverages, live music, family activities, and dog-friendly demonstrations.
Whether you’re an Anti-Cruelty adopter, foster family, or simply someone who cares deeply about animal welfare, BARK welcomes you to join in celebrating this milestone and making a difference in the lives of animals in need.
