CHARITIES & GIVING BACK

Good company.
Doing good.

Friendship brings us together. We want that connection to make a difference beyond our own circle, too.

Through Furshore, we plan to support Furkids and Lost-n-Found Youth—two Georgia organizations helping animals and young people find care and safety.

PART OF OUR MISSION

Care that reaches
beyond the pack.

FANG exists to help people find friendship, express themselves, and feel they belong. As our community grows, we want to bring that same spirit of care to charitable causes.

The aim is to turn the enthusiasm behind our gatherings into opportunities to raise funds, learn about the work charities do, and make a useful contribution together.

Our planned sponsor program shares that purpose: after disclosed production and organization expenses, FANG plans to donate 100% of the remaining sponsorship proceeds to Furkids and Lost-n-Found Youth in honor of our sponsors. Recognition under a name or fursona is opt-in, and sponsors may remain anonymous.

THE FURSHORE DONATION PLAN

Cover the weekend.
Give the rest.

Our plan is straightforward: after covering Furshore’s event costs, all remaining proceeds would be donated to Furkids and Lost-n-Found Youth.

Furshore is currently an interest check for a proposed 21+ lakefront mini-con. A large lakefront property is under consideration, potentially in Dawsonville or elsewhere depending on feasibility. The venue and location have not been finalized. Dates, packages, and final costs are still being worked out. No payment or commitment is being requested yet.

IT STARTS WITH PEOPLE

Bring your heart.
We’ll bring the pack.

Furshore will need helping paws for cooking and grilling, check-in, activities, setup, and cleanup. We’re also interested in volunteer DJs and people who can help with sound, lighting, or other equipment.

If you’d like to help make the weekend happen, bring your ideas and availability to the FANG group.
