GIRLS GOTTA HOWL - DANCE TO THE MUSIC!
Since tickets for last year's popular fundraiser sold out in a record 3 1/2 hours, this year we presented both a matinee and evening event, and they both also sold out! On Monday, September 25th, nearly 500 gals came to the Coronado Center to support the AWL and have a great time. Guests enjoyed a retro buffet catered by Melinda's Cafe featuring fab food reminiscent of the 60's and 70's and a free flowing wine bar. We were entertained by the Spa City Tappers, a video montage featuring excerpts from the tv shows we grew up with - American Bandstand, Shindig, and Sonny & Cher, along with popular movie dance clips. Always a special treat, some of our adoptable dogs also made an appearance as they strutted their stuff around the room. But the highlight
was the incredible dance performance by the six Cheapendales, led by choreographer Linda Broome. Following their gyrating dance routine, they joined the ladies for line dancing and twisted the night away!
Special thanks to our Corporate Sponsor Relyance Bank, Wine Sponsor ReMax HSV, and our silent auction donors:
Sandie Rickerman, The Vault Restaurant, Diamante, Fitzgeralds, and Pa & Towery Houser. Phoebe n Friends also brought an array of handmade and cute dog and cat accessories for sale.

Overcast skies didn't stop the great turnout of walkers, supporters, volunteers and most importantly, our fabulous canine friends, who participated in our 2nd Walk & Wag-A-Thon on Balboa Beach. Nearly $6,000 was raised to help our homeless pets and the dogs were priceless! Congratulations to Chuck Howell, the recipient of the $50 gift card donated by Clampit's Country Kitchen to the walker who raised the most sponsorship money. Chuck raised $600. Thank you Joey Clampit and Chuck Howell!
We waited three years for Girls Gotta Howl, and it was certainly worth it!

The “No-Fleas” Flea Market & Bake Sale on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at the Coronado Center was the biggest and most profitable one to date!
Through their generous purchases and donations, more than $5,300 – record earnings for the “No Fleas” Flea Market - was raised to benefit the Animal Welfare League. All proceeds will go directly to care for the AWL’s homeless pets, and is especially appreciated in a year when COVID prevented the Girls Gotta Howl fundraiser.
