Concert Recap
The first “paws b’cause” concert on April 30th was an incredibly fun and successful event. A representative from Meals On Wheels of Durham spoke to us about the elderly folks in the area that are unable to go to the store to purchase food for their pets and were giving away their own food to their beloved furry companions. At the concert, we raised $1000 dollars for pet food for MOW to deliver!!
Here are some words from Gale Adland, the Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Durham:
“Our homebound neighbors with pets appreciate this support more than you can imagine. Having to worry about feeding your pet companion is a stress that they do not need. The funding from this concert will allow us to purchase about 2 months of food supplies.”
Gale also mentioned that they are looking to partner with dog walkers to help exercise the dogs, and groomers to provide bathing and haircuts. See http://www.mowdurham.org/meet-our-staff/ for contact information if you’re interested.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to participate and hang out with us at the Clubhouse concert!!
I’m looking forward to our next performance on Saturday, July 30th. Mike Garrigan and Ronnie Reed will again be joining me for a night of fun music and a chance to learn more about the 4-legged friends that need our support!
More details to follow soon!!
In song,
