What would the Wayside Waifs’ campus be without a Sorority? The purpose of the Purr Gamma Bark Sorority is to provide a fun, exciting, and inclusive opportunity for professional and/or philanthropic women. The Sorority will help Wayside financially as well as build awareness for the organization’s mission. We typically host four Purr Gamma Bark events annually, including one service day.
Purr Gamma Bark’s commitment to Wayside Waifs is to support a program decided by the Executive Council each year. We will actively secure sponsors for our events so we can say with conviction that ALL membership dues will go directly to the project/program.
There are three levels of Purr Gamma Bark membership and dues are renewed annually.
Be sure to check Wayside’s events page for upcoming PGB get togethers!

The 2024 Program We Are Supporting
Wayside Waifs No More Bullying! Program
Funds raised through Purr Gamma Bark not only support direct animal care – they also support Wayside’s violence prevention curriculum No More Bullying! (NMB), taught locally, and in 44 cities across the country. Your support through Purr Gamma Bark is creating a better world through NMB by teaching compassion, empathy, responsibility, respect, and being humane. Click here to learn more about NMB and its impact or let us know if you’d like to shadow a NMB teacher in the classroom.
For more information about taking on a leadership role within Purr Gamma Bark, please contact us.
