🫶✨️👏🥳💐🙌

We are happy to announce that, together, we raised a grand total of $39,545.36 at our Barks and Mews Gala last month! 🥳❤️🐾

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who made this possible. We couldn't have raised this lifesaving funding for our Angel Fund without you.

🐶 We wanted to give one final thank you to our generous sponsors.

🎤 Thank you to Pat Hoffmann WANE 15 for being our amazing emcee for the evening.

🎶 Thank you to the talented band, Dad Bods, for the live music and to our DJ Kara, I Do Crew DJs, for keeping it fun with 80's bops!

📸 Thank you to our photographer Rick for the candid event photos and to Kristi’s Pet & Human Photography for taking the amazing photos of our guests at our Paw-Parazzi station.

🌹 Thank you Rose's Bouquets: for the beautiful and elegant table center pieces.

🙋‍♂️Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers for letting your love for animals and FWACC guide you to finding donations for our silent auction, securing sponsors, wine/whiskey pull donations, building some of our games, volunteering your time at the gala and so much more. We couldn't be successful without you!

🎟 Thank you all of the businesses that kindly donated items for our guests to bid on in our silent auction at the event and from home. We raised $6,676 from the silent auction alone!

🥃 A thank you goes out to all the businesses and people that also donated wine and/or whiskey for our Wine & Whiskey Pull game. We ended up with over 80 bottles and the game sold out.

🔖 Thank you to all of the businesses and people who donated gift cards for our Prize Pond Game, which was the first game to sell out for the night.

🖌 Thank you to our creative partners: Sarah (very talented volunteer graphic designer) and Dataprint Initiatives for their wonderful customer service and quality signs for our event.

📣 Thank you to our Director, Amy-Jo Sites, for presenting during our event and for participating in the egg roulette challenge (sorry about your hair). Thank you to our Humane Education Coordinator - PIO, Tyna Reiter, for also participating in the egg roulette! A thank you also goes out to our Deputy Director of Medical and Shelter Operations, Laura Rowe, for being vulnerable and sharing about two animals saved by our Angel Fund.
..and finally, thank YOU to all of our guests who dressed in their best 80's outfit and spent the evening with us as we shared about our mission and our 'why.' Our event would not be a success without you all. We truly appreciate your lifesaving support. We hope you enjoyed your time and hope to see you next year!
