 PAWS FOR LIFE 5th GALA & AUCTION

300 W Forest Lane, Oak Ridge, TN 37830

February 18, 2016

Dear Friends of SARG:

SARG will hold its fifth annual Auction Dinner on Friday, April 15, 2016, at 205 Main, 205 Main Street in Clinton, TN.   Over five years we have had 500+ attendees with a net result of over $55,000. Proceeds from this event will be used to pay veterinary costs to rehabilitate cats and dogs from both the Oak Ridge Shelter and Anderson County Animal Facility, and aid those in the community who might otherwise be unable to keep a pet due to unexpected veterinary cost.  

We are actively seeking items for our live and silent auction areas. Please consider making a contribution to our event by donating a product, gift certificate or service time from your business.

We also appreciate any cash donations of sponsorships which assist in our mission and the cost of holding the event.     Sponsorship levels—named in keeping with our mission--are the following:

                                                Tibetan Mastiff (Titanium Level) $1500 and higher

                                                St. Bernard (Platinum Level) $1000

                                                Akita (Gold Level) $750.00

                                                Cocker Spaniel (Silver Level) $500.00

                                                Yorkie (Bronze Level) $250.00

SARG was formed in 1996 and is celebrating its 20th year of animal rescue. Thanks to our Paws for Life Galas, we were able to purchase a transport van for the Oak Ridge Shelter, to make a substantial donation to the new Anderson County Animal Facility, and to help community members who might not have been able to keep their furry babies due to unexpected medical expenses.

SARG is a 501(C) (3) non-profit corporation, Tax Id #62-1629665.   Donors are advertised on our auction Facebook page as the donation is provided and our website www.pawsforlifegala.net (which will remain there for at least one year). If you have any display materials to place in the silent or live auction areas, please feel free to forward them to us. Arrangements for picking up donations or answering questions about this event can be made through cell phone at 865-202-2769 or email at info@pawsforlifegala.net.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Sincerely,

Sara J. Moore
