Bucks for Babe was started as a way to honor Crisco’s beloved dog Babe and support him after she passed away unexpectedly three years ago this June. With the help of Blaze Credit Union, The Bond Between, and of course KS95’s wonderful listeners, we were able to turn this terrible loss into a tremendous positive that helped save thousands of pets.
We are so incredibly grateful for all the listeners who were touched by Crisco’s love for Babe and donated in Babe’s memory in prior years! Each year we laugh, we cry, and ultimately, we've raised over 250 THOUSAND DOLLARS for the Bucks for Babe fund! And that money has meant The Bond Between was able to say yes to saving rescue dogs just like Babe. Thanks to Babe, so many dogs and cats were transported from shelters into loving homes and families... and it's time to do it again!
As we prepared for Bucks for Babe 2025, we were heartbroken to learn of the devastating losses of the Hortman family. This year, a portion of the proceeds from Bucks for Babe will be donated to Helping Paws, a cause special to them, as a way to honor Rep. Melissa Hortman, Mark Hortman, and their dog Gilbert.
Babe was Crisco's soul dog. At some point in her life, she was in a shelter... waiting for someone to say yes to her. Because someone took a chance and saved her from the shelter, she found Crisco and her forever family.
Like Babe, right now there are hundreds of dogs and cats sitting in shelters across the Twin Cities. Waiting, hoping, and wishing for a chance at finding a forever family. Just like Babe, they each have the potential to be someone's soul dog. Their best friend. They just need our help getting out of the shelter and into homes.
This year, we want to save animals from shelters in memory of Babe and beloved rescue pets just like her. We’re raising money in memory of her and all of our amazing pets. Join us in supporting the Bucks for Babe fund again this year and say yes to saving a pet's life in honor of your pet!You can help by donating below- no amount is too small. Every dollar will go towards saying yes and saving lives for the year to come!
With your help, the legacy of Babe and pets just like her will live on.
