Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” Our first community fundraiser,
“Fox Trot at Sea,” was a huge success thanks to our amazing supporters who joined my mom on the Key Largo Princess’ Glass Bottom Boat.
The boat was sold out and at the end of the evening, in just two short hours, $8,000 was raised for Pawsitive Beginnings. How about that? My mom was really amazed that for such a small non-profit, we got so much support.
Everyone loved our custom step and repeat banner with my handsome face busting through and enjoyed the food by Seaside Eatery and desserts by Healthy D’Lites. I did not get any leftovers; that’s how good it was. We had friends come from out of state to support us for the night. How cool is that?
Our guest speaker, Joshua Katcher, talked about his years of research and experience in the fashion industry as it pertains to fur being used in fashion. Mom said you could have heard a pin drop while guests listened intently. It is something I don’t talk about a lot – I prefer the happy side of life us foxes get to live now – but fur farming is insanely cruel.
Roughly 100 million animals are killed for their fur each year around the globe. That number does not include the one billion rabbits that are killed for their fur. My fox friends and I got to live, while millions of others will never know what it’s like to even feel loved or respected for one moment in their life.
This event could not have happened without the support of our amazing sponsors: SpiritHoods, Key Largo Princess, Jeannine Cook Realtor, Keys Weekly, La Trattoria Oceanside, Keys Deep, SunDiver Snorkel, OneGrind Key Largo, All Pets Sitting, The Barker Shop, Raw Feeding Miami, Clever Creatures, Lacey Devin Yoga, South of Heaven Tattoo, Shy Martin, Kelly Matacena and All Keys Aerial Photography who donated their time and talent to photograph the event.
Pawsitive Beginnings is looking to expand in 2023 and we can only do that with your help. If you would like to send out an end-of-year donation to help us achieve our goals, our address is P.O. Box 1165 Tavernier, FL 33070
That’s all for this week, until next time, Reef. Over and out!
