The event raised a total of $935 for the Marathon County Humane Society through chuck-a-puck, 50/50 raffle and proceeds from specialty Cyclones Corgi Race merchandise. The Humane Society of Marathon County (HSMC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been established in the Wausau area since the 1950’s. The vision of HSMC is a cruelty free community enriched by the special bond between people and animals. The mission is to inspire and engage the community to end animal suffering and commit to responsible pet ownership. They achieve that mission by visiting schools to educate children on responsible pet ownership, hosting a low cost spay neuter program monthly, offering discounted microchipping services and more.
Next weekend the Cyclones will take on the Wisconsin Woodsmen again at Marathon Park, but for just a lone game on Saturday night.
