These annual slumber parties, which are designed to encourage community members to get creative in their support for their local shelters, offer unique opportunities to get involved, such as spending the night at the shelter. 

To kick off the party in style, ACPS needs Jacksonville’s biggest creators, influencers, and networkers to spread the word and encourage their community to sponsor them, raising money for their city shelter’s dogs and cats. If you’ve ever wanted to put your following to work for a great cause, ACPS needs you!   

“Lifesaving is a community effort.” said ACPS Chief Michael Bricker, “We're so excited to see how creative our community will get when they fundraise, spread the word, and promote our pets.”
