We need your purses, handbags, pocketbooks, clutches! The Humane Society of Chittenden County is hosting the Purrrses for Paws fundraiser at the Burlington International Airport South Burlington, VT –
It takes, time, money, volunteers, and many resources to treat, feed, care for, house, and find homes for so many animals looking for new homes. The Humane Society of Chittenden County found homes for 940 cats, dogs and small mammals in 2016! One creative way HSCC raises money for its mission is through their third annual Purrses for Paws event.
Please Donate your purses to help give homeless pets a new home. Donations of new and like new purses, clutches, and handbags are being accepted at the Humane Society of Chittenden County and Spruce Mortgage until Feb. 2.
They also can be dropped off in the CCM building 4th floor with Roz Whitaker-Heck x8460 rwhitakerheck@champlain.edu. Dr. Roz’s Event Planning & Coordination class is working with the organization and would like strong participation of purses/handbags donated from the Champlain College family.
These purses will be auctioned and sold at the Purrrses for Paws event on February 9, 2017. The evening will consist of hors d’oeuvres and cocktails from Bevo catering, and an exciting live and silent auction offering new and like new purses, in addition to many on sale. Furthermore, After MidnightJewelers has donated a white gold vintage style diamond and sapphire ring, valued at over $6,000 for a raffle.The Humane Society of Chittenden County HSCC is a private and independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving both Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties whose mission is to foster compassionate treatment of animals and to prevent animal suffering through: sheltering homeless & unwanted pets; timely efforts to place each animal in a responsible & caring home; animal cruelty investigation; feral cat colony management (TNR); and humane education.
