  Happy birthday Bobby Mann! A few years ago in Kansas City, Bobby surprised the Maddie’s Fund team by paying for our group’s lunch to let us know how much he appreciates what our foundation does! That meant the world to us.

  As Jim Tedford once said (paraphrased quote): We can change the world by helping animals, but we can change it even more by helping those who care for animals.

  • “Our shared calling must equally represent the well-being of all the people who comprise animal welfare – our employees, peers, volunteers, adopters, donors, partners, sponsors, clients and all citizens of our communities.” – Jim Tedford
