CARMEL, IN – Synergize welcomed the dog days of summer at its latest 4:30 Meetup, held at 3Up in Carmel. Each 4:30 Meetup features a nonprofit cause in Indiana. This month, the group raised funds and support for IndyHumane.
IndyHumane’s mission is to improve animal welfare in central Indiana. The organization aims to provide affordable pet ownership, ensure the well-being, health, and safety of the animals in their care, and end the cycle of pet overpopulation through spaying and neutering.
Gina Hays, Chief Development Officer at IndyHumane, spoke at the event. Other speakers included Synergize members Braden and Courtney Smith, who have plenty of volunteer experience with IndyHumane. The organization is extremely volunteer-friendly, with multiple programs for all ages and fun events throughout the year.
This 4:30 Meetup was sponsored by the Thompson Group, an insurance agency serving individuals and small businesses in Indiana, Colorado, and beyond. The Thompson Group is represented in Synergize by its owner, Anson Thompson, one of the organization’s founding members.
Every month, Synergize reserves a portion of each membership and donates the total to each featured cause. This month, the group was able to donate over $2,000 to IndyHumane.
“Impact is a built-in part of Synergize membership. Each member contributes to our monthly cause just by paying their dues,” said Arron Stanton, Founder of Synergize.
In addition to the funds, Synergize hosted an IndyHumane Adoption Event at the Synergize Hub before the 4:30 Meetup. One happy pup, Hunter, went home with a local family.
“We were so excited to see Hunter’s adoption,” Stanton says. “The funds are great, but it’s awesome to help an animal gain a loving home.”
