West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, October 8, 2026 — Palm Beach County Fire Rescue is once again joining forces with Animal Care and Control for their popular annual charity calendar fundraiser. This initiative aims to support local animal welfare efforts and assist homeless animals in finding permanent homes.

The collaboration between the county’s firefighters and its animal services department has become a notable event, highlighting community engagement and support for animals in need. Last year’s fundraiser proved successful, generating a total of $10,000. A significant outcome of the previous year’s effort was the adoption of all dogs featured in the calendar, underscoring the fundraiser’s dual purpose of raising funds and facilitating adoptions.

Organizers for the current year’s event have set an ambitious goal to double the funds raised compared to last year. While the specific date and time for this year’s kickoff event have not been provided, it is scheduled to take place in West Palm Beach. This event is expected to officially launch the sales and promotional activities for the new calendar.

The calendar typically features Palm Beach County firefighters alongside adoptable animals from the local shelter. Details regarding the specific animal welfare organizations that will benefit from this year’s proceeds were not immediately available. The total amount expected to be raised this year, beyond the goal of doubling last year’s $10,000, was not disclosed.

The initiative serves as a consistent source of funding for animal care services within the county and continues to draw attention to the needs of shelter animals. The specific number of animals available for adoption or the full scope of projects the funds will support were not detailed in the provided information. The contractor’s name for the calendar printing was also not provided.
