Rabbits
Unlimited Limited is a nonprofit 501(c3)
organization dedicated to fundraising
activities in support
of the Multiple Sclerosis Society as
well as other disability serving causes.
Each year on the first Saturday in February, teams of hunters gather for a morning of rabbit hunting and then join other supporters and volunteers for an afternoon of raffles, auctions and other games as well as great food and beverages. The generous support results in a fundraising effort that makes the Rabbit Hunt one of the biggest and most successful MS events in Wisconsin. Our
Story
Fourteen
years
ago this event
started as a family rabbit hunt that began
early on a
Saturday morning and ended in our family
garage where a few small raffles took
place throughout the day. That year
$400.00 was raised and it was decided to
donate to the M.S. Society. Since that
time the event has grown
exponentially.
At last year’s event over 400 hunters,
supporters and volunteers gathered together
and
$47,00 was raised bringing the 14 year total
to over $310,000. Of the $47,000
raised last year, $35,000 goes to M.S.
research, $5,000 to Scholarships
assistance for families with M.S. and $7,000
to support family’s affected by
M.S.
The non-profit organization was
initially established to raise
funds through charitable events in support of the
MS society Wisconsin Chapter’s
efforts to find a cure for this disease that took
cherished family members, Don
& Eileen Bell’s son & daughter (Rich &
Marge) from us way too soon.
For this reason and learning of other friends and
family with this disease, the
Bell families, friends and generous attendees
continue to participate each year
in the “Hunt to Cure MS”. |
