A special benefit dinner to be held on April 23 (Saturday) at Robinsons Magnolia Garden in Quezon City is being organized by CARA Welfare Philippines and Bow & Wow to raise funds to cover the medical treatment and care of rescued, homeless and abandoned animals.
Appetizers, cocktails, music and celebrity appearances are in store for guests. To be hosted by Tessa Prieto-Valdes, the Benefit Dinner will feature a mouthwatering human buffet by Gaita Fores’ Cibo di M and a delectable pet buffet courtesy of Bow &Wow and ALL4PETSParty. Crisp white wines for pet parents will be served throughout the night by Planet Grapes.
Several fun activities where both humans and pets can join have been lined up, such as games, raffle prizes, massage station, pet caricature station, pawprint keepsakes, design-your-own cupcake activity and a silent auction have been lined up during the event.
CARA will also be giving insights into the workings of rescuing abused or abandoned animals and the volunteer work being done on a regular basis. Run by animal-loving volunteers who help place unwanted, abandoned and rescued pets into responsible homes, CARA strongly advocates the rescue and protection of abandoned and abused dogs using a humane approach.
CARA is the country’s key non-profit organization involved in animal welfare activities, including saving, relocating and rehabilitating over a hundred Pitbulls rescued from a dog fighting ring run by Korean nationals in Laguna. Among its projects include spaying and neutering cats and dogs and putting them up for adoption if their owners are not found.
Attendees may come in their best matching outfits. Pets and pet parents may win special awards and “strike-a-paws” at the photo booth. Guests will also enjoy special performances by Jona Viray and the Pole Cats Manila.
Tickets can be purchased for P3,000 with pet and P2,000 without pet at any Bow & Wow store. All of the proceeds from the event will go to CARA to help pay for the medical care, food, and shelter for dogs and cats under its care.
