Leave a Legacy of CARE: Helping Animals Today and for Generations to Come
February 12, 2027 | 11:30 am-1:00 pm ET
Join Greg Haskett, Director of Development at Cincinnati Animal CARE, for a special lunch-and-learn on February 12, 2027. Lunch will be available beginning at 11:30 a.m. The discussion begins at 12:00 p.m.
Cincinnati Animal CARE (CAC) serves as Hamilton County’s only open-intake municipal animal shelter, caring for thousands of animals each year, reuniting lost pets with their families, and helping people keep the pets they love. Since assuming responsibility for the county’s animal shelter operations in August 2020, CAC has maintained a no-kill commitment while providing compassionate care and second chances to animals in need.
While CAC receives county funding for its required animal control and public safety responsibilities, much of its lifesaving work depends on charitable support. Programs such as advanced medical care, behavioral rehabilitation, foster care, cat care, and community support services are made possible through the generosity of donors. Building sustainable funding for these programs is essential to ensuring CAC can continue serving animals and families for generations to come.
During this presentation, Greg will share the story of Cincinnati Animal CARE, the challenges and successes of operating an open-intake shelter, and the important role philanthropy plays in sustaining its mission. He’ll also introduce Leave a Legacy of CARE, the organization’s planned giving program, and discuss how individuals can make a lasting difference through gifts in their wills, trusts, or other estate plans.
