1st Annual Wine and Whiskers
February 25, 2015
The Peoria Humane Society decided to try something new to celebrate Spay Day on February 24, 2015. This was the first year of Wine and Whiskers, a fundraiser featuring drinks and hors d’ oeuvres, and plenty of opportunity to raise money for the animals.
The night’s activities included a silent auction, wine raffle, doghouse donation booth, Jazz music by the Billy Cook Trio, and a visit from the Special Pals Pet Therapy Dogs. Beer and wine was served and accompanied by a fabulous spread of hors d oeuvres.
The event was well received by everyone who attended. In total the event brought in almost $15,000! The Peoria Humane Society was very pleased with how the evening played out and we look forward to this becoming a yearly fundraiser.
