Brunch at Biscotti’s Ristorante, Pawsafe Animal Rescue and an iPhone

On March 31, 2012, from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, Biscotti’s Ristorante will be hosting a fundraiser brunch ($12.00/person) for Pawsafe Animal Rescue.   No, there won’t be any puppies at this event, but there will be over $2,000 of amazing prizes that can be won through door prizes, raffles, silent auctions, and even a chance to win a brand new iPhone 4!  Let’s take a look at Pawsafe Animal Rescue and their motivation for this fundraiser.      

Daine Scuderi  - founder of Pawsafe Animal Rescue  - describes the organization as a “non-profit, canine based, rescue that aims to provide a better life for adoptable companion animals without homes and to assist in the effort to limit the overpopulation of these animals.”  Pawsafe got its beginnings in 1987 when a very pregnant stray cat found residence at a local Department of Public Works (DPW) facility where she could not stay.  A DPW employee tried to find a safe place to send the cat but no one could guarantee that she wouldn't be euthanized.  Eventually, this cat found her way to Diane, and she delivered the cat’s 4 adorable kittens.  Today, due to Diane’s efforts and the dedicated volunteers who support the Pawsafe mission, they are proud to say that Pawsafe has saved the lives of over 6,000 dogs and cats.    

PawSafe’s goal has always been to have a dedicated adoption facility, training center, and, spay/neuter clinic which would be open to the public.  Achieving this goal will offer the group an opportunity to almost triple the number of animals that they are currently saving and allow them to be able to rescue cats once again.  In order to proceed with their dream of opening an adoption facility a minimum of $250,000 needs to be raised.  Thus their motivation for this fundraiser!  

Scott Haines, owner of Biscotti’s Ristorante is excited about hosting this event and to show his support will be donating a percentage of the receipts collected during the fundraiser back to Pawsafe.  He hopes that everyone in the community will show their support and have brunch at Biscotti’s Ristorante on March 31 between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.   It’s guaranteed to be a fun time for all and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll leave with some amazing prizes.
