Please visit our sponsors and tell them how much you appreciate their support of The Humane Race.
Title Sponsor
We are proud to announce that Hill's Pet Nutrition (makers of Hill's
Science Diet and Hill's Prescription Diet pet foods) is joining The Humane Race as our title
sponsor in 2006. This is especially fitting, given that dogs at the Berkshire Humane Society shelter are fed
exclusively with Hill's Dog Foods. Thanks to everyone at Hill's Pet Nutrition for supporting the race and the BHS.
Platinum Sponsors
The Mt. Greylock Regional School District has generously allowed The Humane Race to
be run over their cross-country trails, as well as providing all the essential infrastructure for the
race (tables, chairs, restrooms, etc.). The personnel and students at MGR High School have been so supportive
and helpful that we are truly in their debt.
Williams College has been extremely generous to The Humane Race, providing food,
beverages, logistical help, and, most of all, a team of wonderful, caring, and dedicated students from the
Lehman Community Service Council, without
whom we could not put on the race. A big thank-you to everyone at Williams!
The fine people at The North Adams Transcript have joined
us this year for the first time as Platinum Sponsors. They have already been enormously helpful with
logistical and advertising support, and we look forward to a long a happy relationship. Read the Transcript!
We would like to welcome back The Advocate for their
third year as a Platinum Sponsor. The Advocate is everyone's favorite source
for News, Arts, and Events in Berkshire County and Southern Vermont. Thanks to The Advocate for their generous
support of The Humane Race and the needy animals of Berkshire County and beyond.
Continuing as a Platinum sponsor for 2006 are our wonderful friends at Greylock
Animal Hospital. The team at Greylock Animal Hospital provide high quality and caring health care for all your pets.
Please thank them for their support of The Humane Race next time you bring your
pet in for preventative care, medicine, or surgery.
Gold Sponsors
The wonderful people at West Oil don't just warm our homes, they warm our hearts with their sponsorship of The
Humane Race. When we asked them what advertising message they'd like us to convey
to readers of our website, they said, "Just ask them to 'Please support The Berkshire Humane Society'."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Thanks to the generous and talented folks at Williamstown Physical Therapy for their sponsorship of The
Humane Race! They're geniuses at helping people feel better (as your webmaster can attest from
personal experience!) and their support is helping a lot of animals to feel better, too.
Residents of the Northern Berkshires know how community-minded the fine folks at
Williamstown Savings Bank are. Every year they donate to many worthy causes and we're proud
to say that again this year they are supporting The Humane Race. Thanks to everyone at Williamstown
Savings!
The fine people at Developer Finance Corporation have
branched out from financing land development deals to helping finance The Humane Race.
Specializing in financing for land developers, Developer Finance has over 250 years combined experience.
Please let them know how much you appreciate them for joining with us to support the animals of
Berkshire County!
Thanks so much to The Red Lion Inn, second-time sponsors of The Humane Race this year,
for coming up with a great idea for one of the finest prizes we'll be offering our winners:
a free night at The Red Lion Inn, complete with feline companionship! To quote from a recent press release:
"Travelers with a longing for some feline companionship with their cozy New England accommodations can take advantage of The Red Lion Inn’s new “Cat Suite”.
The suite’s main attraction is “Wilbur,” a slightly finicky but affectionate black and white cat who has taken up part-time residency at the inn. Wilbur, who is three-years old and housebroken, is on-hand to greet guests when they check into the Wilder Suite in The Red Lion’s Two Maple Street guesthouse, adjacent to the main inn. On those occasions when the suite is empty or is occupied by a non cat-person, Wilbur spends the night with his friend, Nancy Fitzpatrick, The Red Lion’s president."
The fine people at Mahaiwe Tent have supported the Berkshire
Humane Society extremely generously over the years and this year's Humane Race is no exception.
Mahaiwe Tent is donating all the tents we'll be using during the race. Thanks again, guys!
Kaivo is donating the web servers on which our website runs. Thanks guys!
Tecado has generously donated their time to create and maintain this website. Thank-you!
