Wisconsin Humane Society celebrate its 5th annual Poorly Drawn Pets fundraiser

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- The Wisconsin Humane Society's fifth annual fundraiser has returned to the Badger state.

The fundraiser is called "Poorly Drawn Pets," giving amateur artists a chance to raise money for a good cause.

"In the end, it's relaxing, you enter a completely different side of your brain and have a lot of fun with it," said Heather Hipke, an employee of Ellenbecker Investment Group.

Hipke, joined by a team of her colleagues, drew pets submitted to the Wisconsin Humane Society. Each photo represents a $25 donation, which will go towards operational costs of the humane society.

"The people who are drawing typically are staff members of the humane society, or volunteers," said Sara Mcgurie, volunteer.

The volunteers are not shy to admit they're not Vincent Van Goghs.

"I'm a little nervous sometimes - it's a good thing, sometimes they are going to look at and go, 'I don’t know,'" said Cameron Roth, an employee with Ellenbecker Investment Group.

But after trial and error, the photo was captured, and memories made, all for a positively good cause.

"To be able to do it in a fun way, where you're donating and actually getting a hand-drawn picture of your pet," said McGuire.
