HSEP board member to spend 24 hours in kennel for El Paso Giving Day fundraiser

Anton Conlon, board member and former board president of the Humane Society of El Paso, will spend 24 hours living in the shelter as part of HSEP's fundraising effort during El Paso Giving Day, according to KVIA. The challenge, now in its return year with Conlon's participation, mirrors the conditions animals face at the facility until the organization meets its fundraising goal.

HSEP is seeking to raise $35,000 during the giving campaign. The funds will support the shelter's in-house medical team and foster care programs, according to KVIA.

El Paso Giving Day allows local nonprofits to request community donations to advance their organizational goals. Donors can contribute directly to HSEP or to other participating nonprofits through the El Paso Giving Day platform.
