Join Me to Help Get Rescued!
can you meet rescue dogs, cats, pigs and even skunks, all on one street? While it’s a blast to bring your fourlegged friends and meet new ones, the main purpose of Get Rescued is to raise funds and awareness for the many animal and pet rescue organizations in our area, including wildlife rehabbers. You can help in a bunch of different ways, from volunteering to donating pet food, and 100% of the event’s net proceeds get divided among the participating rescue and rehab groups each year.

While it’s true I am a very handsome and charming rescue pup – you may have seen me at the Gulfport Beach Bazaar, or perhaps on my own Facebook page – folks don’t come out
to Get Rescued just for me. (Or so I’ve been told.) But what, you ask, is Get Rescued? It’s only the biggest and best animal rescue event of the year. Where else

Rent Booth Space: I don’t know much about business, but I DO know that a lot of people love Get Rescued! That makes it an opportunity to promote yourself, your brand and your products and services. All of the event’s net proceeds go to the rescue and rehab groups at Get Rescued – helping more of my pals find a great home, and helping wild animals who need help, too. Apply at sikpromotions.com/ applicants/winter/applicants-getrescued. Sponsor an Event: It just makes sense to me – the natural choice for petloving businesses is to sponsor petrelated events! Gulfport’s Get Rescued is the premier and longest-running animal rescue festival in Pinellas, and has gained an outstanding reputation for providing quality services in the community. That’s why I’m the mascot! Sponsors get event publicity, logo recognition, stage announcements and new customer relations. Sponsorships start at $500 and could be tax deductible (I’m a dog and don’t understand tax law, so double check with your CPA). We also love in-kind sponsorships. Host a Fundraiser: If your business loves pets as much as we do, you can host a fundraiser of your choice to help buy pet food donated to participating rescue groups on the day of the event. Yay food! Sponsor a Rescue Booth: Show your love! You can sponsor individual animal rescue groups for $75, and everyone will know how much you love animals. Rescue booth sponsors get a big ol’ sign at the group’s Beach Boulevard booth during the event. You can even sponsor a rescue in honor of your own beloved pet. Auction Donations: Got something
