The spectacular Renaissance St. Augustine Historic Downtown Hotel was the setting recently for this year’s annual Pin-Up Paws party, the major fundraiser for the St. Augustine Humane Society.
Guests enjoyed music by Rob Peck and the Matanzas Allstars, a buffet meal and a Prosecco station. Pete Melfi with the 904Now served as emcee for the evening and party-goers participated in a silent auction, wine pull, cash bar and old-fashioned photo booth.
In addition to its role as fundraiser, the Pin-Up Paws party also serves as the official unveiling of the 2023 Pin-Up Paws Calendar.
“On behalf of the St. Augustine Humane Society, I would like to thank every person who attended our annual Pin-Up Paws fundraiser, bid on our auction items or supported us in any other way over the past year,” said Executive Director Carolyn Sindad Smith. “We have a skilled, dedicated and compassionate staff whose main goal is to keep pets and their humans together – forever. Community support of our projects and events is the only way to ensure that vital services like our low-cost spay and neuter program, our pet pantry and our wellness checks can continue.”
The calendar is now available for purchase. Photographer Addison Fitzgerald donated his talents and studio time to capture the unique personalities of each of the 13 calendar models. Fine artist Maribel Angel contributed her artistry to create a one-of-a-kind, keepsake calendar featuring each pet as a pop-art superstar.
Calendars are $12 each, plus shipping and handling where applicable. They can be purchased online at www.staughumane.org or in person at the St. Augustine Humane Society, 1665 Old Moultrie Road, St. Augustine.
