Description

DFW Rescue Me is a 100% volunteer 501c3 organization that you may recognize from the State Fair of Texas Kissing Booth or from our work with "Justice Dogs."   We work with the various city shelters and have helped place more than 3500 dogs in the DFW area.

Besides the State Fair, each year we have one large fundraiser - Kibble and Cocktails.  The event is April 18 from 6-9pm at the Legacy West Box Garden in Plano.  We are expecting around 400 animal lovers but maybe as many as 800.  Brian Curtis from NBC5 will be our emcee and 96.3 is our media sponsor. 

I am leading our auction efforts.  While we have some great donations for the online auction (Texas Rangers, St Bernard Sports, Mesero), we need more. 

The event will be supported by meaningful marketing and provide exposure to a desirable audience.   Legacy West will be including the event in their newsletter (estimated 25K), and their social medial channels (estimated audience of 84K) and DFW Rescue Me will also be advertising on our website and social media (estimated 200K followers) and emailing to our distribution list (estimated 10K).
