The 22nd Annual Celebrity Dog Wash & Band Aid Festival
Sponsor Information:
Safe Harbor invites you to take part in what is being called one of South Florida's most anticipated events.
With Carlin Park's beautiful new amphitheater near completion and Safe Harbor finally recovering from a devastating fire last March, we are so excited to announce that on Saturday, May 16th, we will be hosting the 22nd Celebrity Dog Wash Festival.
They say that all good things come in time and after waiting almost two years to host one of the largest family events of the year, we are finally coming back with a bang! Each year, thousands of family members and their pets come out to enjoy a day of international foods, arts &crafts, K-9 demonstrations, celebrity dog washers and international recording artists.
This year we are happy to announce that we are adding a Harley Bike show to our line up of fun and entertainment. Hundreds of Harley motorcycle enthusiasts will be attending our event and will have their bikes on display for people to see. There will even be a bike-judging contest.In addition, we will be adding a "Best Harley Dog" category to our pet costume contest this year.
International recording artist "WAR" will take center stage and perform some of their greatest hits including Low Rider, Spill the Wine, Why can't we be Friends and Cisco Kid. In addition, local bands Tom Can't Stop,Acoustic Remedy, The Shareholders and Big Vince & The Phat Cats will keep the excitement building until the main event.
But the big stage is just the half of it. Over in our Dog Wash tent, there will be a steady stream of local celebrities washing dogs and mingling with our animal loving crowd. Starting with the infamous Love Doctor's, Rich & Glenn along with the beautiful Lexus. Joining us for the day will also be Don Brewer,drummer for Grand Funk Railroad, Kool 105.5's Mo & Sally, Josh & The Home Team, Johnny C & The Greek, WPBF'S Teri Parker, WPEC News12 Curt Fonger, Liz Quirantes, WPTV News 5 John Favole, Steve Weagle and hopefully a surprise or two.
This has become one of the largest South Florida dog-friendly events ever, drawing over 100,000 people with their dogs over the past 22 years. In addition,we have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Celebrity Dog Wash and have come to depend on this event as part of our annual budget.
For 23years, Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary & Hospital has served all of the abused, neglected and abandoned animals that come to our no-kill shelter and hospital. We are now redirecting our vision and looking for 20-30 acres of land for our "sanctuary". Events such as the "Dog Wash" not only help us to raise the funds for this future endeavor, but also give us the community exposure we need to accomplish this goal.
We would like to graciously ask for your company's support this year. Safe Harbor is an organization that you can be proud to be a supporter of as well as our continuing services to the dogs and cats in need of our care. Please look over the enclosed sponsor packet and consider a level that is right for you and your company. In the next few weeks we will follow-up to see if we can add you to our list of wonderful supporters.In the interim, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Please remember that we understand everyone is struggling in this weak economy, however charities are the ones that are hit the hardest during these difficult times. Please help us continue to help the voiceless dogs and cats in our community; their fate is in our hands.
