Hello buddies! Reef the fox right here along with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” Nicely, people, you probably did it once more. Key Largo residents proved that with regards to displaying up for group, compassion and a very good trigger, the Florida Keys by no means disappoint.
On Aug. 27, almost 100 of you boarded the Key Largo Princess Glass Backside Boat for our annual Pawsitive Beginnings Day Sundown Cruise, and raised over $10,000 to maintain me and my fellow foxes residing our greatest lives on the sanctuary.
I heard the evening was the whole lot I might have dreamed of: laughter, heartfelt tales and a complete lot of people rallying for foxes. You dined on scrumptious meals from Seaside Eatery and candy treats from Wholesome D’Lites (each gave a beneficiant 50% low cost; now, that’s what I name a candy deal). Toss in some cocktails and people killer sundown views, and the vibe was pure Keys magic. Even the skies cooperated; rainbows arched simply earlier than the cruise set sail, just like the universe itself was giving a nod to our trigger.
There additionally had been some unbelievable people on the microphone. Jacey Birch, Native 10’s Animal Advocate, delivered a strong message about compassion, advocacy and standing up for animals like me. Ben Kemmer, CEO of the Florida Keys Kids’s Shelter, reminded everybody why our partnerships matter a lot for susceptible children on this group. And Jackie Ducci, founding father of the Human-Animal Alliance, spoke in regards to the therapeutic energy of animals and the ripple impact of our work right here at Pawsitive Beginnings.
And let’s not neglect the superb sponsors who made this cruise doable. Big due to the Key Largo Princess Glass Backside Boat, the Fred & Jean Allegretti Basis, Island Villa Development, Keys Weekly Newspapers, Metal Metropolis Pharmacy Options, Island Nails By Tania, the Andrew Burr Group, HNO Productions, Barbara Froelich, Rosie and Nelson Sanchez, and Kelly Dziubek Matacena. Due to you, this wasn’t simply one other fundraiser, it was a real celebration of resilience, each human and animal.
After all, none of this magic occurs with out our visitors. You purchased tickets, bid on one-of-a-kind fox statues, and confirmed up in full pressure. Each single greenback raised goes straight towards the each day care of me and my seven fox buddies, and retains our animal-assisted remedy packages working for teenagers and adults throughout Monroe County.
From the underside of my overly-dramatic coronary heart, thanks.
Till subsequent time, Reef, over and out!
