Description

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.
