Paws With A Cause (PAWS) invites West Michigan residents to enjoy an evening filled with dogs, food, drinks, and fun during the first-ever Hats & Hounds fundraiser!
Attendees are encouraged to dress in their Sunday best alongside their dog and join PAWS for an exciting evening supporting a great cause. Hats & Hounds will take place on Tuesday, May 14 at 6 p.m. at Wildwood Family Farms.
Ticket cost includes a strolling dinner catered by Butcher Block Social, complimentary beer and wine during Happy Hour with a cash bar to follow, cocktails for purchase, games and activities, prizes, and more. A PAWS client will share stories about the life-changing impact their PAWS Assistance Dog has had. Resources and information on ways to support the PAWS mission will be available.
“We’re excited to offer a unique experience in West Michigan where people can attend a fundraiser and bring their dog,” said Kristy Blackmore, PAWS Special Events Manager. “We hope people will come out to enjoy a fun night in a tranquil setting, while also supporting a great cause!”
The theme of this unique fundraiser is based on a mashup of The Westminster “Best in Show” Dog Competition, which will be aired during the event, and The Kentucky Derby. Guests are encouraged to dress in-theme wearing hats and bowties, which extends beyond human attendees to their pet dogs.
*Pet dogs must be over 16 weeks old, fully vaccinated, leashed, and under the control of their owner for the duration of the event.
Tickets are $75 per individual. PAWS also offers event sponsorship opportunities which include different ticket packages.
