Shelter Shiver 2025
Other Event Type for Alive RescueFeb 23, 2025 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Our 16th Annual Shelter Shiver Chicago is a fun event held at North Avenue Beach
on Sunday February 23, 2025. Participants dress up in costumes and plunge into
Lake Michigan in the bitter cold. Each participant collects pledges from friends and
family for ALIVE Rescue through an online platform. In addition to the plunge, our
Presenting Host, Off Color Brewing, hosts a warm up after party where we enjoy an
unlimited food buffet, announce Shelter Shiver winners, award prizes and pass out
goodie bags/swag.
ALIVE Rescue’s mission is to save abused, homeless and unwanted animals. We
provide rehabilitation, food, housing and veterinary care for all of the dogs, cats and
rabbits that we rescue. Our primary intake source is high-kill shelters. ALIVE Rescue
receives no state funds for these services and relies solely on contributions and
fundraising events to continue this vital work.
Your sponsorship will help provide adoption services to animals (dogs, cats, and
rabbits) in need of loving homes and help cover the costs associated with caring
for them until they are adopted. Your donation will also help us sustain our new
shelter, The Big Barn. In October 2023, we expanded our operations into Southern
Wisconsin with the addition of this new facility. The Big Barn is 4,800 square feet
and sits on 70 acres and will allow us to double our rescue efforts.
