Jordan s Way raises $10,700 for Des Moines County Humane Society
The Hawk Eye
Kandi Hillyer was shivering Tuesday night after she got hit with ice water outside the Des Moines County Humane Society.
Her staff nailed me with about eight buckets. I was completely drenched. It was not warm whatsoever. I think they have been wanting to do that for years, the shelter director laughed.
The experience was totally worth it, Hillyer said. It was an amazing night.
The event marked the shelter s Facebook live fundraiser with nationally-known charity founder Kris Rotonda raising more than $10,000.
Jordan s Way live-streams energetic fundraisers for animal shelters around the country.

Des Moines County Humane Society Animal Shelter will be the site of pies to the face, a doggy jail, dancing, and other fun and games Tuesday at a fundraiser for the shelter.
Social media personality Kris Rotonda will bring his high-energy antics to the shelter to raise funds and inspire people to adopt pets.
The Burlington stop is part of his 50-state goal to visit 300 animal shelters and raise awareness of animal and shelter needs.
During his tour, Rotonda goes live on Facebook for four hours at each shelter to raise donations to benefit its animals, sometimes raising upward of $15,000.
