FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAKING A DIFFERENCE GALA – MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
DANBURY, CT – The Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS) will be holding our biggest fundraising event of the year, Making a Difference Gala, starting at 6pm on October 21st at the Amber Room Colonnade in Danbury, CT.
To celebrate our 49th year, please join us as we aim to raise $185,000 for the thousands of animals we care for each year and celebrate our newly renovated shelter, opening soon! The renovation would not have been possible without our Gala honoree, Tary Tarlton of Kenosia Development. This is guaranteed to be a great night with our host, Rich Minor of 98Q, a live and silent auction, music by The Bill’s Toupee Band, dancing, and fun that will not want to be missed.
Individual tickets are available for $195 and $1,750 per litter of 10. Sponsorship opportunities are available as well.
Danbury Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community and beyond since 1974. We promote responsible pet guardianship and the humane treatment of animals, and work toward ending animal overpopulation through education and a variety of programs. We take pride in the work we do – working to keep homeless pets safe, happy, and sheltered.
Learn more and get tickets at dawsgala.givesmart.com or reach out to Angela at development@daws.org with any questions.
