What an incredible night!
On Thursday, September 12, 2024, the Jonathan Tuff Best in Show event at the Crystal Ballroom at the Lerner Theatre helped raise a jaw-dropping $1.68 million for the Humane Society of Elkhart County!
Thanks to the amazing support of our 9 local “celebrities”, their furry friends, and over 300 attendees, we raised over $840,000 – nearly 1/3 of our annual budget, which was then matched by an extremely generous donor!
Congratulations to Stacey and Tim Amundson and their dogs Benji and Maarten for winning Best in Show! And a huge shoutout to Kate Steele and her dog Goose for taking home the People’s Choice Award!
