The Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society & DAWG raised more than $150,000 at the 9th Annual Spay-ghetti Dinner, held June 1 at the Marriott.
The money will further the group’s mission of providing essential services and care to animals in need. The funds will be key in reopening the medical clinic; expanding community outreach and education programs; and enhancing efforts to help more animals find loving homes.
The Spay-ghetti Dinner was headed up by executive/medical director Shana Schank, DVM, and board chair Carla Mead, whose leadership and passion were instrumental in making it a success, the organization said.
Thanks are extended to the following supporters:
Grand Reserve Champion: The Wood-Claeyssens Foundation.
Grand Champions: All Creatures Great and Small, Imerys, Coastal Valleys Roofing, Rio Vista Chevrolet, Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, Santa Ynez Pet Hospital.
Best in Show Sponsor: The Starter Farm.
