Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” Stop whatever you’re doing, because I have important news.
This is not your typical Keys fundraiser. This is not a polite evening of applause and finger foods. This is Pawsitive Beginnings Day, and if you haven’t scooped up your ticket yet, you are on the verge of missing the event of the season.
On Wednesday, Aug. 27, a boat full of humans will set sail on the Key Largo Princess Glass Bottom Boat in Key Largo into the sunset with laughter, cocktails and community filling the air, all in support of me and my entourage of rescued foxes. Yes, you read that right. This cruise is for us, and for the healing work we bring to so many lives in the Florida Keys. Tickets are dwindling, and if you wait too long, you’ll be left scrolling regretfully through Instagram seeing photos of the opportunity you missed.
The evening promises powerful voices and inspiring stories. Local 10’s Jacey Birch will bring her passion for animals and advocacy to the stage, while Ben Kemmer, CEO of the Florida Keys Children’s Shelter, shares his vision for supporting youth in our community. Jackie Ducci, founder of the Human-Animal Alliance, will round out the lineup, bringing her perspective on the profound bond between humans and animals. Together, these speakers will weave a narrative of resilience, compassion and hope – themes that run through everything we do here at Pawsitive Beginnings.
Of course, no fundraiser worth attending comes without good food and good drinks, and this cruise will deliver both in abundance. Guests can look forward to an evening that feels equal parts celebration and purpose, an opportunity to toast to the future while directly supporting the foxes who have already survived so much.
The excitement doesn’t stop onboard. Our online silent auction is live and ready for bidding, filled with treasures that you can claim with just a few clicks. It’s a chance to treat yourself while giving back, whether you’re bidding from the deck of the cruise or from the comfort of your couch.
So here it is, as direct as I can say it: don’t miss your chance. Join us for an unforgettable evening that blends fun, fellowship and fox magic. Tickets are almost gone, and the foxes, particularly me, expect nothing less than a full boat of supporters.
Visit pawsitivebeginnings.org/events to place your bids and secure your spot before it’s too late.
Anywho, that’s all for this week. Until next time, Reef, over and out!
