ICARE's 16th annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, April 14, was attended by about 700 animal lovers. Attendees enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Whiskey Creek, sponsored by Union Bank of California and KIBS/KBOV Radio and served by the hardworking 4-H members. It was a fun evening with a live auction led by former local legend, John Dailey,and lots of valuable silent auction items. Raffle tickets were sold for two dog-themed quilts made and donated by the Quilters in Stitches and raised $1,200! Stan Smith and his phenomenal 50/50 crew raised $4,756. The lucky winner, Laura Mizrahi, walked away with $2,378 in her pocket. Proceeds from the fundraiser totaled $27,500, which goes a long way to fund our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Program for the upcoming year. ICARE funded 868 spay/neuter surgeries in 2011 alone at a cost of $42,000, so we continue to rely on donations to fully fund our spay/neuter program.
The ICARE Board extends a very sincere thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters. We are truly blessed to live in such a generous and caring community!
