Rescue Village’s Woofstock Ramble
CALLING ALL RESCUE VILLAGE SUPER FANS!
Through your individual or group participation in the 2024 Woofstock Ramble, you can show your love for Rescue Village animals through funraising!
By fundraising $100 dollars or more you are able to participate in the Ramble Parade and Costume Contest onsite at Woofstock, September 8th at 10:30 AM. Following the parade, each Rambler will receive their Ramble Goodie Bag and a professional photo with your dog or favorite person. Rescue Village will be honoring all Ramblers and crowning the top three funraisers at the Ramble Ceremony.
The Top Funraiser wins a Puppy Pizza Party for up to 20 guests total either onsite at Rescue Village or offsite by request!
All contributions go directly to the animals and RV’s crucial mission.
RAMBLE HISTORY
2024 marks 31 years of the Ramble Parade! Woofstock, originally known as “The Ramble,” was created to raise lifesaving funds that go directly to the shelter and medical departments to provide a temporary home, food, veterinary care and treatments for sick, injured, abused and neglected or homeless animals in northeast Ohio.
Through grassroots efforts and dedicated staff and volunteers, Woofstock has grown into the family-friendly dog festival you know and love today! Last year, Rescue Village welcomed over 8,500 attendees, over 50 Ramblers, and Ramblers funraised over $15,000 for RV animals!
Rescue Village is a private, non-profit 501(c)3 organization solely reliant on donor support for funding. Rescue Village does not receive government assistance or funding. Without the generosity of the communities Rescue Village serves, the necessary care and support we are able to provide to the animals would not be possible.
The Ramble is a necessary and impactful fundraiser for Rescue Village to support the ongoing care of RV’s animals and facility.
The Ramble engages communities, organizations, students, groups, and individuals and provides a FUN, affordable and meaningful way to donate time and practice advocacy for a worthy cause.
RAMBLE GOAL: $25,000
While $25,000 is an ambitious goal, we are confident that with the help of the communities, Rescue Village will reach the ramble goal!
