About Our 2018 Charity: The LifeLine Animal Project

Since 2015 IATSE Local 479’s Young Workers Committee have devoted themselves toward making their annual kickball tournament a fun and meaningful event for players and sponsors, raising thousands of dollars for our selected charities along the way.

This year our selected charity is the LifeLine Animal Project – a non-profit dedicated to ending the euthanasia of healthy and treatable dogs and cats in metro Atlanta shelters. In 2017 LifeLine saved the lives of more than 14,000 animals!

LifeLine offers an online catalog of animals available for adoption and will bring a selection of their adoption-ready dogs to this year’s kickball tournament.
