Zinner’s Courtney Ockenden rounded up our lovers of baking to support their passion for our furry friends to host our 2nd Annual Bake Sale on Monday, August 29th.

Courtney’s enthusiasm for the Organization is contagious!  Thanks to the commitment of our coworkers and their families, the bake sale offered a tremendous array of delicious and beautifully presented homemade treats.

With the support of the Zinner staff, our clients, service providers, friends and family, we once again raised over $400, contributed directly to the Geauga County Humane Society.

The bake sale is held in conjunction with the upcoming Woofstock 2011 Annual Dog Walk and Family Festival for Pets and their People.

Below is a fundraising page that Courtney initiated that you are welcome to join, donate, or forward to anyone whom you feel might be interested. Woofstock this year will be held on September 11th at the Holden Arboretum. Please see the website for more information.
