I am so proud of the Prom For Paws fundraiser that a fellow PPI Board Member and I created back in 2009. We wanted a fun and exciting fundraiser that would not only help the stray cats and dogs of Northwest Ohio, but something that would be able to also help those in our community. At the fundraiser, we collected gently used prom, homecoming, bridesmaids and formal dresses, shoes and accessories to re-sell back to the community and very low costs. All of the funds raised benefited PPI to help care for and spay and neuter the strays in our area. It was such a great event and the response from the families was overwhelming! We held the fundraiser again this past year and are working on 2011's details! I hope to post pictures soon as we hold the event just before prom season!
We were lucky enough to have the alot of media at the events the past 2 years including, The Toledo Blade who snapped a few pics the first year and published a great article in our community section. The folks at our local news station, 13 ABC and Fox Toledo's Face of Fox also joined us as we gave on-air interviews! We were also grateful for radio station's K100 dj's as they have joined us both years and conducted live remotes to help us spread the word! The support for the event has been so awesome...we truely have a wonderful community!
