West Palm Beach, FL – On November 30, 2019, the Young Friends of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League will host its inaugural “Party Animal” event at the newly redesigned Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. Guests are invited to dress in creative black tie for an unforgettable night of dinner, dancing and letting your spirit animal take flight to support the furry friends of Peggy Adams in need. Through Party Animal, the Young Friends of Peggy Adams seeks to bring together animal lovers of all ages and to raise funds and awareness of Peggy Adams and its mission to help care for cats and dogs in Palm Beach County.
James Berwind, Director, Life of Riley at Spring Point, is the Presenting Sponsor for Party Animal.
Bruce Sutka of Sutka Visual Design is charged with the creative design for the décor and expected to bring the atmosphere to life with elements of white, neon and oversized animals. Creative cocktails and delectable bites will be catered by Starr Catering Group at the Norton.
“We are so excited about our first-ever Young Friends of Peggy Adams event and working with the younger generation of philanthropists who are passionate about the welfare of animals,” said Rich Anderson, Executive Director/CEO of Peggy Adams. “The goal of Party Animal is to raise funds that are critical to saving more than 5,000 dogs and cats this year.”
The mission of the Young Friends of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is to create a strong network of the next generation’s community leaders and influencers who are passionate about animal welfare. The Young Friends of Peggy Adams have pledged to raise $25,000 towards the new Pet Adoption and Humane Education Center being built at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. The new building will double the number of adoptions, saving thousands of additional dogs, cats, puppies and kittens each year, while providing the premier humane education experience in Palm Beach County. Work has already started on this project and plans are to open this new facility by Fall 2020.
