Instead of a standard kennel suite, the top fundraiser will spend the night in our largest VIP luxury suite with their rescue pup.
PLUS a bag full of local goodies and giftcards!
And of course… bragging rights as our Sleep With the Pups Champion.
🤝 Corporate Sponsor Challenge
We are also inviting local businesses and community sponsors to get involved.
Businesses can:
• Sponsor a participant
• Match donations
• Challenge other businesses to give
Corporate sponsors will be recognized on our social media, event promotions and inside our facility as supporters helping us bring life-saving veterinary care to the community.
You’ve heard of walkathons… but have you ever heard of a Sleepathon?
Wags 2 Wishes Animal Rescue presents:
SLEEP WITH THE PUPS
For years, Wags 2 Wishes has hosted our popular “Sleep With the Pups” events… but this year we’re taking it to a whole new level.
For the first time ever, we will be hosting this event in our brand-new rescue facility in Minooka, Illinois, and we’re inviting a small group of dedicated supporters (old and new) to spend one unforgettable night living like a rescue dog.
Yes… you read that right.
Participants will spend the night sleeping in one of our rescue suites alongside one of our adoptable pups, experiencing firsthand what life can be like for animals waiting for their second chance.
But this event is about much more than a sleepover.
This fundraiser will help us raise the critical funds needed to complete the surgical area inside our veterinary clinic, allowing us to begin providing spay/neuter surgeries and medical care for rescue animals and pets in our community.
How the Sleep With the Pups Challenge Works
Participants will compete to raise donations for the rescue.
To earn a spot in the overnight event, each participant must commit to raising a minimum of $1,000 in donations.
Spots are extremely limited.
We will only select a small group of participants, so those who are serious about helping animals should reach out right away.
Just imagine the impact:
If 20 participants raise $1,000 each, that’s $20,000 raised for the animals.
But we believe we can go far beyond that.
