Thank you to everyone who joined the Fur Kids Foundation pack at Pet-A-Palooza on September 9. The board of directors is very pleased to announce that supporters of the Foundation helped us raise more than $8,500! We also had more than $5,290 given to the Foundation for in-kind donations and silent auction items! We have an amazingly generous community, and we are truly grateful for the support. Photos of the event are posted in our Facebook album, 2017 Pet-A-Palooza. We encourage you to tag yourself or your friends in the photos and share them with your followers. We owe a huge paw of applause to Fur Kids Foundation’s volunteers. This year, several of them helped us gather items for our Silent Auction, helped us find vendors and sponsors, planned Pawject Runway and the Small Dog Showdown, and even found other people to volunteer at the event. Fur Kids Foundation is very lucky to have such a great group of people in our pack. Before we sign off, we need to give a hand to the businesses and individuals who help this great event happen in our community. Without their help, we couldn't help as many families with pets with emergency veterinary care. Since September 2012, Fur Kids Foundation has helped more than 430 families and granted more than $70,000 in aid! Our vendors at the event were really paw-some, as were all the people and businesses who donated to the Silent Auction tables. These businesses and individuals include:
And last, but certainly not least, a big round of applause to the businesses and individuals listed below for their support of this event and Fur Kids Foundation Pooch Plunge on August 26, which brought in nearly $1,400 as well. If you do business with any of these businesses, or know these individuals, please thank them for supporting us.
