Silent and Live Auctions at Burrito Bash to Benefit the Cats and Dogs of Chatham Animal Rescue

April 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Come enjoy the fun. Bid on awesome auction items, eat delicious food, and join in the laughter, while helping the cats and dogs of Chatham Animal Rescue and Education, Inc. (CARE).  On Tuesday, May 4, 2010 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM, the volunteers of CARE in partnership with the General Store Café (GSC), will hold our 7th Annual Burrito Bash fundraiser with both live and silent auctions at the GSC, just off the traffic circle in downtown Pittsboro.  

CARE’s mission is to promote the health and safety of all Chatham County cats and dogs.  We play a crucial role in reducing the number of unwanted animals that end up being euthanized in the shelter by operating a $20 spay/neuter program for Chatham County residents with income under $40,000. Our foster volunteer caregivers open their homes and their hearts to help make animals more adoptable while they await their forever homes. Money earned through your participation in this engaging event goes directly to funding animal care.    

A $15 donation on this special Tuesday night provides admission and a GSC dinner burrito with all the fixins’.  Live and Silent Auction items feature a range of experiences, artwork, and gift-certificates, including an Outer Banks beach week, an Ocean Isle Beach week, a Lake Lure Mountain getaway weekend, metal sculptures, original paintings, pottery, woodworking, therapeutic massages, garden items, as well as many more magnificent finds.  

Dinner and Silent Auction begin at 6:00 PM (Silent Auction closes at 7:15 PM); Live Auction begins at 7:30 PM.  

Auction donors are listed on CARE’s website. http://chathamanimalrescue.org/showresource.php?Resource=...

Discounted tickets for $12 are available to all when purchased in advance either through www.chathamanimalrescue.org or in person at McIntyre’s Books in Fearrington, the General Store Café in downtown Pittsboro, and The Natural Pet Health Store in Bear Creek.  For more information, e-mail burritobash@chathamanimalrescue.org or call Karen Sirls at (919) 542-5757.
