Description

We would like to invite you to join us for an amazing rescue event that would put your organization in front of hundreds of dogs and dog loving people - the PAWS Project Foundation 4th annual Rescue Reunion!

 

The organization began in November 2016, when then 12 year old Molly Wogan founded the P.A.W.S. Project which stands for Precious Animals, Wonderful Shelters.  Her goal was to raise $2,500 and spend a year volunteering for rescue/shelter groups in New England to give back in thanks for her two rescue dogs Riley and Gracie.

 

In the first year she raised over $28,000, collected $40,000 in items donated by companies, and helped more than 14 organizations in five states.  In 2017 she decided to continue her work with the creation of the P.A.W.S. Project Foundation - a non-profit charity.  At this time the PAWS Project Foundation has raised almost $300,000 and saved over 750 dogs. We have also collected over $45,000 in new items that my shelters need from companies, and made 6 trips to Georgia to work with our partners there and pull dogs from high kill shelters.   We also started the “PAWS for Pets” program where donations from our foundation have helped people who can’t afford to take care of their pets pay for spay/neuter and needed shots to help keep pets in their homes and out of county shelters.  Molly has earned a lot of media attention in newspapers, as the WHDH “Class Act”, as the GoFund Me “Kid Hero” and also several other awards in recognition of her work.

 

On Saturday, June 11th we will be holding our 4th Annual PAWS Project Reunion for the dogs Molly has saved and their families!   The event is being held at the Topsfield Fairgrounds Arena in Topsfield, Massachusetts from 12-3 pm.   In addition to dogs and families we are also inviting all of our dog loving financial donors/sponsors as well the event being open to the general public.   We have a newsletter following that is over 2100 strong.  And we are partners with Great Dog Rescue NE (all our dogs are adopted out by us but through this organization).  They have adopted out over 20,000 dogs who are also invited to the event.

 

This event will feature vendors of all types, agility demonstrations, photo booth, puppy kissing booth, free crafts, free games with prizes for kids, food trucks, face painting, litter reunions, raffle and silent auction items, and much more.  It is an amazing event!

 

A video montage of last year's event and information on past vendors can be found on our website at https:// pawsprojectfoundation.org/ paws-project-reunion

 


We have attached our vendor sponsorship information for your review.   Last year all of the top four sponsorship levels sold out in just a few weeks.   If you are not able to attend and are interested in donating an item to our raffle or silent auction table that is certainly greatly appreciated.   All donors receive social media mentions and signage at the event in thanks for their donation.
