Party Animals is the grassroots house party network that focuses energy around legislative issues and helps raise much-needed resources for the Humane Society Legislative Fund, which works to pass humane laws and has an aggressive agenda to stop the needless suffering inflicted on animals. Party Animals brings people together on one night at the same time for a party with a purpose.

Advocates activate and educate their community by hosting a Party Animals event. Using tools provided by HSLF, party hosts create their own website, establish a fundraising goal, send invitations to friends and family and collect donations through a secure website. Campaign, lobbying and video materials are provided. It's fun and easy and it helps HSLF stand up for animals in our nation's capital.
