Bark & Whine Ball 2013

March 20, 2013 – Fort Mason Center, Festival Pavilion, San Francisco
Benefiting the Cinderella Fund at the San Francisco SPCA

Please accept our heartfelt thanks to all of you who supported CLAW’s 17th Annual Bark & Whine Ball – a spectacular evening with approximately 400 attendees and several hundred four-legged companions. Whether you attended the ball, volunteered your time and services, or provided donations, auction items or corporate sponsorship, your contributions were key to the success of this year’s event.

The Live Auction generated some lively bidding on the 2014 Westminster Dog Show package, the invitation cover for the next ball, the special dinner prepared in your home, the large banner (15’x20’) of your pet displayed at the next ball, the cover of Our Animals magazine, and the photo of your pet in the window of Pet Food Express for one year. We want to thank all of the winners of these “priceless” packages for their support.

The proceeds from the Bark & Whine Ball go to the Cinderella Fund at the San Francisco SPCA. This fund transforms the lives of the neediest animals that arrive at the shelter – those who are not only homeless, but are sick or injured as well.

We hope you will continue to support CLAW. Please take time to look through some of the pictures from this year’s event.

Sincerely,

Patrons, Pets & Donors
