​Painting for Paws

"Painting for Paws" is a painting, wine & cheese charity event. This "painting with a twist" event is one of AFWC's biggest community events where people gather from all over to paint a beautiful picture while enjoying some wine, finger foods and live music. AFWC has partnered up with Randi Kirsch of "The Dancing Palette" to create a family friendly atmosphere where attendees can become the artist. Along with the event, a huge "Summer of Fun" basket raffle consisting of family events, activities and gift certificates is all generously donated to AFWC giving everyone the chance to win over $1,000 of items! This event has become a popular annual spring event.

Pumpkins for Paws
In October 2018, Animal Friends members put their creativity to the test by decorating and painting on pumpkins to sell as a fundraiser. All the pumpkins were generously donated by the DeGroff family. Along with the pumpkins, AFWC sold baked goods reminiscent of the autumn season.

Santa Paws

During the fall and winter seasons, Animal Friends hosts a Christmas themed event entitled "Santa Paws". Though each "Santa Paws" is a little different than the previous years, the main objective is still consistent: celebrating man's best friend for the holiday's. Attendees can dress up with their family pets to get a professional photo taken for a donation to AFWC. There photos are then given to the attendees with AFWC having permission to share their them online. These photos are great to use for family portraits and Christmas Cards. Along with photo's, attendees can bring in their unwrapped Christmas presents and AFWC members can wrap them for a donation as well. A special raffle such as a 50/50 raffle or a Chinese Raffle may be attached to this event.
