A Message from Sam Vickar
At Vickar Automotive Group, we believe in driving change beyond the roads and into the heart of our community. For years, we have proudly partnered with the Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) to help animals in need find loving homes. As we enter another year of support, we are excited to announce the 2025 WHS March Match campaign—an initiative dedicated to doubling donations and making twice the impact on the lives of animals in Winnipeg.
What is the WHS March Match Campaign?
The March Match campaign is an annual fundraiser where every dollar donated to the Winnipeg Humane Society during the campaign period is matched, effectively doubling the support provided to animals in need. Thanks to generous donors, including Vickar Automotive Group, each contribution goes twice as far, helping to provide food, medical care, shelter, and adoption services for rescued animals.
The 2024 campaign was a tremendous success, raising crucial funds that ensured hundreds of animals received the care they desperately needed. In 2025, we aim to go even further, with an ambitious goal to raise more funds and help even more pets find their forever families.
A Message from Sam Vickar
*“At Vickar Automotive Group, we are committed to giving back to the communities that have supported us over the years. The WHS March Match campaign is an initiative close to our hearts because we know the difference it makes for animals in need. Every pet deserves a second chance, and together, we can make that happen.
By donating during this campaign, you are directly helping animals receive essential veterinary care, food, and shelter while they wait to be adopted. With every contribution matched dollar for dollar, your generosity has twice the impact. Let’s make 2025 a record-breaking year for the Winnipeg Humane Society and show what our community can achieve when we come together.
Thank you for your continued support.”*

Why Your Support Matters More Than Ever
Each year, the Winnipeg Humane Society rescues thousands of animals from neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Many require urgent medical attention, behavioral rehabilitation, and time to heal before they can be placed in permanent homes. The WHS March Match campaign ensures that these animals receive the care they need by doubling every donation received throughout the campaign.
Here’s how your contribution helps:
- $25 donation provides vaccinations for a rescued animal.
- $50 donation covers spaying or neutering to help prevent overpopulation.
- $100 donation supports life-saving surgeries for pets in critical condition.
- $250 donation helps fund behavior training and rehabilitation, increasing adoptability.
- $500+ donation ensures long-term care for senior pets and those with chronic conditions.
How to Get Involved
1. Donate
Every donation made to the Winnipeg Humane Society during the March Match campaign will be matched. Whether you contribute $10 or $1,000, your support has twice the power to change lives.
2. Spread the Word
Help us raise awareness by sharing the campaign with friends, family, and colleagues. Use the hashtag #WHSMarchMatch2025 on social media to encourage others to participate.
3. Adopt, Foster, or Volunteer
If you’re considering welcoming a pet into your home, there’s no better time to adopt from the WHS. Alternatively, fostering provides a temporary but vital home for animals in transition. Volunteers are also needed to support the shelter’s daily operations.
Making 2025 a Record-Breaking Year
With the support of the Vickar Automotive Group and the incredible generosity of our community, we are confident that the 2025 WHS March Match campaign will be bigger and better than ever.
Together, we can give animals a second chance, provide hope to those in need, and build a compassionate community that believes in making a difference—one paw at a time.
Let’s drive change together. Donate today and be part of something truly special.
