Many Thanks for a Successful Auction!


 

We had an incredible time at the kickoff fundraiser for The Sanctuary!  We could have not asked for a more rewarding day!  Sure, it was a little cloudy and rainy, but the outpouring of support, enthusiasm, and love made the day sparkle! 

  

The Hard Hat Gang is thrilled to announce that over $20,000 was netted at our first annual fundraiser for The Sanctuary!  We want to thank everyone who donated, attended, and bid on a wide variety of art, tickets to sporting events, get-away vacations, collectibles, books, and Golden memorabilia.  We are deeply grateful and know that is your support that allows The Sanctuary to move forward and your generosity that inspires us to continue our efforts on behalf of the breed we love. 

There are many wonderful people to thank!

Cindy Bent and Sandy Tremblay, Profile Goldens – Thank you for graciously hosting!  Your lovely farm provided the ideal setting for the premier event for The Sanctuary.

Joan Puglia, Sanctuary President - Thank you, your expertise in rescue, your passion and tireless energy remain unsurpassed!

Kathy Levasseur, Sanctuary Treasurer - Thank you for your keen eye on all financials details!

We also thank all the volunteers who worked behind the scenes and on the spot to pull together an amazing number of details and small miracles to make this even run smoothly and efficiently.

We want to extend a very special thank you to our guests from Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue, Carol Allen, GRCA Foundation National Chairperson for Rescue Programs and President of Central New York Golden Retriever Rescue, and, Sallie Lennox, Central New York Golden Retriever Rescue.
