Posted on the BHS website, Executive Director commented… “Now more than ever, this raffle will help save lives of hundreds and hundreds of animals. Each year, we depend on our events to support the day-to-day work at our shelter and satellite locations. This year we had to cancel many of those events due to COIVID-19. The Subaru car raffle is our biggest fundraiser, and we are thankful that we can safely continue with it.”

George Haddad, President of Haddad Auto group added… “Haddad Subaru is excited to partner with Berkshire Humane Society for the 8th annual Subaru Raffle. We love to help raise money for such a wonderful organization so they can continue the important work they do for our four-legged community, especially in these times. Haddad Subaru looks forward to growing the long-standing relationship we’ve built with Berkshire Humane Society over the years.”
