Description

Dear Loyal Supporter and Business Leader:

 

It’s time to plan for our 13th Annual Fall Gift Auction!  This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we rely on the generosity of our supporters and local businesses to help make our event a major success.  We raise a substantial amount of revenue from this event which covers our operating budget for the entire year.  This year’s event will take place on Thursday, October 24, 2019, at Addison Park in Aberdeen, NJ.

 

Guests have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win any number of the large array of prizes including beautifully wrapped themed baskets, gift cards and big ticket items of which all of the proceeds directly benefit the dogs in our foster program.


For the last 12 years our event has sold out in record time!  The success of our event resulted from the combined generosity of over 100 businesses, corporations and individuals whose donations enabled us to create an extravagant display of lavish baskets and luxury prizes for the over 450 guests in attendance.


Would you consider donating a themed basket, gift card, product and/or monetary donation to help us exceed our fundraising goal?  All donors will be acknowledged in our event program, on our social media pages, and on our web site.  In order to be included on our website and event program, we would like to receive your donation(s) no later than Friday October 5, 2018.

 

Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) all-volunteer canine rescue organization based in Central New Jersey.  Incorporated in June 2003, our mission is to rescue, foster and adopt out dogs and puppies found in dire situations, particularly high kill shelters.  Relying solely on tax-deductible contributions from the general public for our own continuity and success, we are also committed to community education and involvement.  Besides giving courses in proper pet care, the importance of spay/neuter, and disaster preparedness, we offer a junior volunteer program for adolescents ages 10 thru 18 that includes community service hours.  We are pleased to announce that we have one of the most robust junior volunteer program in Monmouth County which has grown to over 50 junior volunteers who have held several events to assist us in our fundraising efforts, while supporting community involvement.  2019 Marks our 16th year of saving lives, thanks to the dedication of our team of volunteers as well as our adopters and donors.  Our success is based on a team effort and we are fortunate to have one of the Best!!
