Bad Art is good for the Friends of Oakland Animal Services (FOAS)! This year’s annual fundraiser was the most successful since FOAS first launched the badness in 2020. With close to 800 pet portrait requests and a team of 160+ artists, FOAS raised just over $38K!
A huge thank you to our donors (who all clearly love their fur babies), the volunteer artists (many of whom need to keep their day jobs :-D), and most of all, to the handful of volunteers and staff behind the scenes who answered emails, coordinated artwork, and made this fundraiser the success it was!
