Title: Not At All Ball invitations
Summary: PFP kicked off its annual fundraiser. Invitations were mailed to supporters cordially inviting them to the Not At All Ball with the slogan “many will be invited; none will attend”! Invitees were asked to skip the tux rental, the gown purchase, paying the babysitter…and instead mail PFP a donation check and enjoy a quiet evening at home. Donations received go directly to our mission of supporting domestic animals.
