Positively Muskegon: Wags and Gags - Help the Noah Project

In Muskegon, we might not be experts at everything, but we have mastered the ability of making sure that things get taken care of for those who are not able to take care of themselves. Be it a need of any kind, somehow, someway, we all find a way to circle the wagons in our own way to fill the cracks and make sure that the needs are met and that when the time is needed. This applies to human need as well as the need for the companions we keep in our pets.

The Noah Project in Muskegon has been an all volunteer organization since the beginning. From their website - Noah Project is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter that is dedicated to provide for the compassionate well-being of rescued, abandoned, abused, unwanted or neglected pets. Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all veterinary care and are treated with dignity, love and respect as they await to be matched into new relationships within loving forever homes. Our goal is to educate the community on animal welfare, collaborate with other shelters and ultimately strive for a world where every companion animal has a home to call their own."

Located on Airline Road, The Noah Project is known far and wide for their work and their dedication to pets. They rely solely on donations and volunteerism. Funding doesn't come from any kind of annual budget from a municipality or entity. When a need is there, it's met by the traditional methods, social media requests, word of mouth, email, fundraisers, donation buckets, and maybe even the ancient method of a phone call....what's that right? Food, cleaning supplies, litter, cash etc...you name it....The Noah Project is 100% community funded and it resonates with those who adopt from them and help support their work.

This event has been postponed TFN. We' will reissue the story when it is rescheduled.

See that part about fundraisers in the last paragraph? Well, that's what we're here to talk about. March 21st at the beautiful Trillium Events Center, The Noah Project presents Wags and Gags!! A fantastic event focused on comedy, food, drink, silent auctions and of course, making sure that the needs of the shelter are met. The comedy is coming from the Lighten Up Comedy troop, which features a comedian of any age level. 3 great comics coming for your entertainment. The food? Pasta bar and the fixins'. Come hungy! The silent auction? Filled with all kinds of incredible items from local business....back to our opening statement of Muskegon circling the wagons...we're the best at it, including.... tickets to see Elton John up close and personal at Van Andel Arena when he makes a stop there on April 23rd. As you'll hear in our chat...the tickets are close enough to the stage you'll scare Sir Elton.

I met up with Jane McGregor and Bill Vanderweele who are both board members of The Noah Project to learn a little more about the event and the cause...take a listen to our chat about this awesome event to learn more!

A fun night out with purpose. The work they do at The Noah Project is of the heart and the support is fantastic. It's a great thing to be part of a community that continues to give, and support so many important things, especially the causes that rely completely on the kindness of others. Grab your self some tickets to the party and have a great night out, or if the fundraiser isn't your thing, make sure you stay in touch with The Noah Project on their Facebook page or their website. Maybe some extra cleaning supplies or a little cat litter here or there from you....little things all add up to help support such a great cause!
