Tuxes & Tails What a Night! 6 KOMO news anchor Cayle Thompson walks the Tuxes & Tails runway
This year’s gala raised $5.3 million for pets in need and one special project to help many more… Glittery gowns, adoptable pets, phenomenal auction items, gourmet food and wine, and what else? An exciting announcement that Seattle Humane is building a new animal shelter and veterinary teaching hospital slated to open in 2017. With this announcement finally public, the ballroom erupted into applause and a sea of auction paddles. Our guests were rewarded with even better news – Seattle Humane as of that evening had raised $21 million of its $25 million goal. We’d like to give a special thank you to Jim and Bet Schuler of the Schuler Family Foundation, who pledged $1 million to the Fund-A-Need project. Another thank you is owed to the Gene J. Colin & Susan M. Janus Charitable Fund, Tamara Morse, Mary Snapp and Spencer Frazer, Michael and Kaycee Krysty, Bonnie and Jim Towne, John and Kathy Connors, Franz and Grace Lazarus, Carl and Renee Behnke, and Svanee’s Foundation for their generous lead gifts. These funds will benefit our capital campaign to build a new 57,000-square-foot adoption center, primary care teaching hospital, and animal shelter to replace our current aging facilities in Bellevue. “A safe, efficient, and modern new facility will allow our organization to adopt out 3,000 more animals each year, and spay and neuter 5,500 more pets each year to reduce pet homelessness,” said CEO David Loewe. “We are so grateful for the support of our generous donors who have brought a long-awaited dream closer to reality.” The new facility will also provide high-quality veterinary care for both Seattle Humane animals and outside rescue organizations and shelters with limited resources. In an alliance with WSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, fourthyear veterinary students will continue to do rotations at the shelter as part of their training. Their participation expands Seattle Humane’s capacity to provide medical care to shelter pets. Now that our campaign is public, stay tuned for more exciting changes to come! Seattle Humane plans to transform the future of animal welfare, and that extends to our new look and feel, including a new logo, and a fun and engaging advertising campaign to launch in early fall. As an amazing finale to a record-breaking night, we let our fabulous shelter pets take the stage to strut their stuff with local celebrities in our one-of-a-kind runway show. After the event, all 14 featured pets were adopted into loving families! On behalf of every dog, cat and critter who comes through our doors, thank you to everyone who made Tuxes & Tails such a special evening.
