$1.4M raised to rescue dogs in need!

Great News! Our sold-out fundraiser at The Mar-a-Lago Club raised 1.4 million dollars, including $400,000 for our China Dog Rescue mission.

This is the 8th year we have held our event there.

We have generated over 8 million dollars due to the popularity of the venue, event, and mission.

The extraordinary discounted rate provided by The Mar-a-Lago Club, along with the donated wine and champagne, meant that .86 cents of every donated dollar will go to saving lives.

When our events team selects a venue for one of our many fundraisers, we consider which venues offer the most competitive pricing and who can accommodate the special needs of the event, including the number of guests and which location provides the best environment to attract those paying top dollar to enjoy an exceptional experience.

We work hard to ensure the greatest return on investment. With our event cost at .14 cents per dollar raised, we are substantially under the national average of fundraising event expenses of .40 to .50 cents per dollar raised.

Many thanks to the supporters who helped us achieve this success for our dogs!

President Donald Trump appeared both days to congratulate us on our work. He received a standing ovation (along with Lara Trump and Lauree Simmons) for their work in helping to pass the first national animal anti-cruelty law in U.S. history.

Lara Trump, whose lifelong passion for helping dogs includes leading the effort to pass legislation banning Greyhound racing, served as our Honorary Chairwoman.

Lara joined the Big Dog Ranch Rescue family in 2018 and has helped us in many ways, from personal donations to fundraising ever since.

If you could not join us this year, we invite you to join us next March, or you can join us at another one of the wonderful fundraisers that we hold at many different locations throughout the year!
