The Friends of Eden Animal Shelter was founded in 2014 to help save stray animals in the City of Eden, North Carolina and the surrounding area. This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that would not exist without the compassion and dedication of volunteers, donors and special fund raising events such as this tournament. Proceeds from this event go to support the services Friends of Eden Animal Shelter provides for the support of abandoned, abused, lost, stray or surrendered animals that find themselves at the City of Eden Animal Shelter. The animals are rescued from the shelter and using social media, networked for exposure to an owner seeking their lost pet, potential rescue organizations and adopters and to help raise money for the animal’s care. Friends is an independent organization working to save the lives of local animals. Since forming in 2014, Friends of Eden Animal Shelter has saved nearly 200 dogs and cats. Hopefully their work will continue to help reduce the number of animals that are euthanized each year. Corporate, individual, and team sponsorships opportunities are available.
