We know dogs! And to do a good job for the dogs in our program, we also have to be able to do a good job with people. Luckily, Chicago is full of amazing people. Just walking down the street in the city or suburbs, you will pass loving dog owners, animal advocates and volunteers for all sorts of organizations. We also have a plethora of talented artists in and around Chicago: painters, photographers, sculptors, professionals, hobbyists and those just getting started on their careers. And Chicago is home to many generous business owners—people who share their success with our community by donating products, services and more.
Project Rescue Chicago was incredibly lucky to have many of these amazing people lend their support this past Friday to our first-ever silent auction event. We auctioned off artwork created by over 22 local artists. Owners and representatives from 11 local businesses contributed products or services to our cause. And many more supporters donated canine gift baskets; baseball packages; and their time and talent—generously.
With their support, we were able to raise over $3,000—all of which will go a long way toward ensuring that the PRC pups are healthy, happy and safe. It also means that we will be able to rescue and home even more dogs this year than we did in our first year of operation.
Thank you to all who were able to support us! We hope those of you who weren’t able to join us this year will be able to stop in next year—it’s going to be even bigger and better! To see more photos of our evening, please take a look at photographer Jen Soares’ blog.
Special thanks go out to:
