Dahni Jo was 5 years old when her life was tragically cut short. She was a light in the Evansville area, who had a passion for helping animals. Dahni was seen at many fundraising events with local rescues sharing her love for animals. In fact many weekends Dahni spent her time at Petsmart helping with the adoption events, or at Evansville Animal Control handing out treats to the dogs there. She truly had a huge heart for animals. A scholarship fund has now been set up in her name, but the Dahni Jo Memorial Scholarship Fund needs to community s help in raising funds to help students in the future.
In addition to providing the Safe Ride Program on special weekends, like this upcoming Memorial Day weekend, Logan s Promise also has a scholarship program. This year, two $1000 scholarships were awarded to college-bound high school seniors. The students are chosen for demonstrated academic achievement and those who express interest in fighting against drinking and driving.
Bryce Cape and Conner Alford are seniors at Reitz high school, and they have both received the Logan Allen Brown 2021 Memorial Scholarship. Both Bryce and Conner display academic achievement, and commitment to serving others in school, home, and on the field.

The annual Going, Going, Gone to the Dogs auction is the humane society s largest fundraiser of the year. Typically it s a huge event that includes cocktail preview parties, plated dinners, and silent along with the live auctions. However once again, the pandemic had other plans for their annual event. Vanderburgh Humane Society decided it was safest to just move the auction online once again. The good news with it being online is you can bid from the comfort of your own home, and hopefully next year we ll be back and in the regular swing of things!
