EVENTS
2021 followed 2020 with obstacles created by the pandemic. It pushed us to think outside the box in order to continue holding our events. In 2020, we quickly moved to virtual events, but as circumstances began to shift, we had to continue to be swift and creative with what our events would look like. We are grateful to everyone who gave through these events to support our animals in need.
BOW-WOW-WALK
With the ever-changing environment that 2021 presented for everyone, the SPCA wanted to provide the best experience while keeping everyone safe. We reimagined our annual bowWOW-walk and came up with the Pet Purrade! Participants were encouraged to decorate their car and drive in our Purrade with their pets. Of course, there were competitions to raise funds for the shelter. Wonderful animal-friendly sponsors made the event possible.
The Ninth Annual (Pet Purrade) bow-WOW-walk generated nearly $60,000 to benefit the animals at the SPCA!
CRITTER BALL
Our 2021 Critter Ball was held at the Clifton Inn. There was a live and a silent auction as well as dancing to support animals in need. Together we raised over $300,000 in net proceeds! People were able to bid on incredible live auction packages and donate toward key initiatives, including our Compassionate Care Clinic Fund, Rescue Fund and Spay/Neuter Appeals. To top off the night, guests grooved to Motown performers Kustom Made and enjoyed a gorgeous moon poolside!
