Hope Floats 2008

A Black-Tie Charity Ball

to benefit local rescues and spay/neuter programs

 

Thanks to all that supported and attended our black tie charity ball "Hope Floats 2008."  Money was raised for all of the rescues: Paws Place, Phoenix Rising Pit Rescue, Friends of Felines and Sunburst Foundation. We have just finished the grant application for the outreach spay/neuter program and will be submitting it for the Bob Barker Grant. 
 
I would also like to thank additional businesses and individuals that helped make this event possible: Port City Signs, Kefi, Copy Cat Printing, Joel Fernando, Jeff Reid of The Beat, UNCW pre-vet club, Sea Comm Media & Toyota of Wilmington.
 
We are presently getting ideas and making plans for the next event in Spring 2010 and are looking for committed volunteers for our committee.  Interested persons could email or call Linda at 910.622.0011

We are also collecting donations for the Pender County Animal Control wish list. They would like help purchasing mats for the dog and cat rooms at the shelter on New Savannah Road. Many improvements and renovations have been made to help their animals.  We want to contribute to this effort to make a humane shelter for homeless cats and dogs. Contributions may be made to Sunburst Foundation PO Box 7527 Wilmington, NC 28406 and please designate for Pender County Animal Control.  Contributions may also be made through PayPal on the www.dragonflynetwork.org website.  Also if anyone would like to contribute as a company or has access to purchase or put down these mats please let us know.
     Most of the canines that have come through Sunburst Foundation are from Pender County Animal Control. We would like to present the mats to them at the fundraiser on April 18.
