Many have already drove by the Brighton Ford billboards around Livingston and Oakland County expressways and know that we support our community! One local organization has really earned a spot in many Brighton Ford employees and customers hearts, is the Humane Society of Livingston County. Help us support this great organization with much needed donations that keep this non-profit running. And if making a monetary donation isn’t in your cards, then there are many other ways to help: volunteer or rescue your next pet from the Humane Society on Door Road in Howell.
A Brief Background on the Humane Society of Livingston County
There are many reasons animals end up in shelters. Financial hardships, personal health problems, or death of an owner often leave very few options for people to keep their pets. The majority of animals coming into our shelter are surrendered by owners who can no longer care for their pets. Our shelter provides peace of mind for these pet owners as well as a safe haven, compassion, and medical care for lost, abandoned, abused, or neglected animals until we can find a suitable, loving home for each one. Thanks to our staff, volunteers, adopters, and supporters we are ranked among the highest performing shelters in Michigan for animal save rates and adoptions, so you can feel good knowing each animal is receiving the highest quality care possible while we work hard to find them a home. In 2010 and 2012, we were recognized by the Michigan Pet Fund Alliance as the “Outstanding Limited Admission Shelter in Michigan.” for having the highest save rates with the greatest number of adoptions!
Hockey Night in Brighton 2017 will take place on Saturday March 11th at 1:30pm at the Kensington Valley Ice House. Ticket prices are $10 for game tickets or $60 for VIP dinner and auction tickets. Click here to buy your tickets, they will also be available on Sundays at The Well and the Proper Cup Coffee Shop. This is the biggest Well fund raising event for our local charities.

The main event of the day is the Well All Stars vs. Red Wings Alumni team. Our very own Lease Manager Matt Renko will be taking the ice again this year for the Well All Stars! Make sure to order your tickets soon, as last year’s event was completely sold out.

If you don't know how LACASA helps improve our community, take notes:
LACASA protects, advocates for and empowers victims and survivors of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. This has been the mission of their nonprofit for three-and-a-half decades.
LACASA Center is an independent nonprofit. By independent, we mean that unlike most nonprofit agencies, we receive no funding from a national parent organization. Our sustainability is based on individual donations from members of the community, and all donations stay local.
LACASA assists hundreds of innocent victims and their families each year as they learn to cope with—and courageously heal from—trauma and heartache.
Child abuse, family violence and rape are acts that defy understanding, yet they exist and require our immediate attention and intervention.
The residents of our community are committed to providing help, hope and resources for victims in crisis. They know this is the path to a safer tomorrow.
Brighton Ford sponsors, participates and helps LACASA any way that we can. There are many reasons why we help this amazing community organization that helps victims of all types. Brighton Ford participates, attends, sponsors and supports almost every LACASA event throughout the year like their Community Awareness Taskforce, Mommalouges, Denims and Diamonds, Twilight In The Garden and many, many more! Brighton Ford’s Community Relations Director is a tour guide for all of their 2017 Within These Walls Tours (tour of LACASA’s facilities), click here to check out the dates of these tours.
LACASA needs your assistance to keep helping our community that they have served for over 35 years now. Monetary donations, volunteering opportunities, memorial tributes, host an event, Groceries For Good Program (VG’s and Kroger), Amazon Smile Program, donate used cell phones and many other ways that you can help.
Here’s LACASA’s short description of what they do:

We have partnered up with Meals on Wheels of Livingston & Western Oakland County for their annual Pledge A Plate Campaign to help get the word out! This campaign is necessary so that they can keep on serving the homebound seniors of Livingston and Western Oakland County! There are many reasons to donate, especially at this time of year when the holidays are upon us. The best part about their Pledge A Plate Campaign is that 100% of the donations go directly to getting a plate of food to a local homebound senior!
