Event to Feature a Helicopter Ball Drop!
Three Rivers Humane Society is seeking 20 volunteers to help with its furrrrrrrrst-ever Pars for Paws Golf Tournament, Saturday, September 17 at Desert Peaks Golf Course in Madras. Volunteers can sign up via this link.
Presented by Gary Gruner Chevrolet, the fundraiser will feature two 9-hole shotgun scramble starts: one at 9am and the second at 1pm. Volunteer opportunities include set up and take down plus assistance at the five contest holes including longest drive, longest drive with a putter, longest marshmallow drive, closest to the pin and straightest drive. Cash prizes are awarded for each contest.
Assistance is also needed for the helicopter ball drop, which will rain down golf balls on the driving range. The winner closest to the pin wins $100 in cash and an annual couple’s pass to Desert Peaks valued at $700. Tickets are only $10 and are available for the entire community on the day of the FUNdraiser.

With a $25,000 hole-in-one prize, a free catered lunch, additional raffle items including rounds of golf, high-value gift cards and a free golf club for every player, the event is expected to sell-out.
The cost is $100 per player or $400 for a golf foursome. Sign up today via the Three Rivers Humane Society website. The event is also supported by premier sponsors Mud Bay, Indian Head Casino and Hooker Creek. Additional event sponsors include Madras Sanitary Services, Central Electric Co-Op and Patty Cordoni, realtor.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available ranging in support levels from $250 to $2,000. Visit the Three Rivers Humane Society website to learn more or contact Erin at erin@centraloregonaf.org for details.
In the past 18 months, the costs to operate the shelter have increased dramatically. From wages to food costs, to medicines and supplies — we are facing our strongest headwinds ever. It now costs nearly $29 per day to house a dog at our facility.
“This event will help raise funds so we can deliver and maintain our high level of service to Madras and Jefferson County,” said Stephen Drynan, executive director of Three Rivers Humane Society. “This time is especially challenging, but we know that with support from the community, we can continue to be THE resource for animal welfare in the northern part of Central Oregon.”
Find your new best furry friend by visiting Three Rivers Humane Society, 1694 SE McTaggart Road in Madras. The shelter is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday through Saturday.
