If you’re a dog and cat lover, and you like parties, the Mutts and Models fashion show on Saturday, May 15, is a no-brainer. It’s a pretty swanky event with a silent auction, an amazing catered spread, your usual bevvy of beautiful people (Jill and I were there last year) and tasty beverages. My first experience was last year and (with the exception of a somewhat scary drag queen), it was pretty fabulous. Mutts and Models is at the EXDO Center again this year, so don’t miss this event!
Tickets are $65 but every dollar raised goes toward supporting the Colorado Veterinary Medical Foundation and Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital. Harrsion Memorial is not-for-profit veterinary hospital that helps low- and fixed-income pet owners by providing veterinarian care at a cost that might prohibit the pet owner from keeping their pets healthy and happy.
However, if $65 is a little too spendy for you, consider an alternative route: give to CVMF and Harrison via The Goethe Fund. As many of you know, Jill and Karl Lueders created The Goethe Fund in 2008 after they lost Goethe to cancer at the age of 4.
Go to Giving First, Harrison’s offical online donation vehicle and make a tax-deductible contribution. All proceeds go directly to the hospital, but make sure to write Goethe Fund in the “comments” box. I have pledged to raise $25,000 over the next four years. I’m 10% of the way there, but need your help. Thanks.
Do it for The Goethe….
