Good morning,

The 9th Annual Beauty to the RESCUE was wildly successful and an enormous amount of fun!! Below are links to photos and a video of the event! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=92323&id=27379542493 – photos http://www.facebook.com/video/?upload&oid=27379542493 – video

This year, with your help we raised a whopping $13,000!!!! YAHOO!!! That’s fantastic!!!! We couldn’t be happier and are so very thankful for all your support! For those of you who bid on auction items, thank you. The winners of those items will be contacted by Mane Attraction this week. The Grand Prize winner of the $500 cash was Marty Guy! Congrats Marty!!!!

This event has been hosted for the last nine years by two HUGE RESCUE supporters and adopters Kendall and Beate Ong! We can’t thank them enough for all their support and continued dedication to RESCUE’s mission! Their staff donated all their time to yesterday’s event and one very special staff member Suzanne did a enormous amount of work for the event as well. Suzanne secured almost all the silent auction items for the event! RESCUE is enormously grateful to Mane Attraction and all their staff!
