Friends of Williamson County Animal Center (Friends of WCAC) is going virtual with its annual ‘Pawsome Gala’ event, Thursday, July 9, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. The event is presented by Mars Petcare-A Better World for Pets. Join in the fun, bid on auction items, see the first reveal of the new shelter design, and learn how Friends of WCAC supports the shelter with your donation.
Shelter director Ondrea Johnson stated that during the event, the design of the new county animal center will be revealed. “I am excited about giving the public their first glimpse of what the awesome new facility will look like.” The new animal center will be located off the Mack Hatcher Blvd. extension near Carlisle Lane, and part of the proceeds from the Pawsome event on July 9 will go toward the facility.
Johnson is excited about the new online format, necessitated by COVID-19 restrictions. “We were scheduled to have the event on March 28, but plans for a social gathering had to change. The Friends of WCAC have been working hard to make this online event very special for our sponsors and supporters.”
A Pawsome auction supporting the event is online now, and ends at 8:00 p.m. on July 9. Among the 84 auction items available for bidding are a Roman Yosi autographed Predators package, spa and personal services, original art and a coastal vacation.
In addition to Mars Petcare, other event sponsors include: Tito’s Handmade Vodka; F&M Bank; Oversite; 906 Studios; Pet Butler; and Battleground Animal Hospital.
