No Cheating Allowed At Fundraiser For Animals, Popcorn Park Zoo Says

The Associated Humane Societies Popcorn Park Zoo wants to reassure anyone who attends its Annual Gift Auction this Saturday that steps have been taken to avoid the possibility of anyone cheating, according to a Facebook post.

Apparently some type of cheating took place while preparing for the fundraiser, but the post did not go into detail.

"If you are one of the sneaky and immoral people that feel that it's okay to steal from a non-profit animal welfare organization and the people that support us - don't even try it," the post states.

The fundraiser has been run very successfully for more than 30 years. All of the money raised from the event goes to the care of the animals.

All of the gifts are new. Admission is $10 and includes a sheet of tickets.

"We have about 300 awesome gifts this year, including a BBQ Bonanza with grill and accessories, an oceanside getaway, wedding photography package, and so many gift cards and beautiful items! There's definitely something for everyone," the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Facebook page states.

The event will be held at the Toms River Elks Club at 600 Washington Street in Toms River.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase.

Wear a Halloween costume and you'll be entered in a contest to win a prize.

The doors open at 5 p.m. and the auction starts at 7 p.m.

Popcorn Park is still accepting donations of new items. They can be dropped off at the zoo at 1 Humane Way, in Forked River.
