Celebrate Spring and Support AFRP at the 7th Annual Fundraiser at Lugano’s Swiss Bistro
Mark your calendars and join us on Sunday, March 16th, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., for the 7th Annual Fundraiser at the charming Lugano’s Swiss Bistro. This community-driven event is proudly sponsored by Gracee Blossom Joy, the Ambassador of Goodwill for Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.
The fundraiser will benefit AFRP (Animal Friends Rescue Project), with 20% of the sales from the entire day donated to support their incredible work rescuing and rehoming animals in need.
Gracee Blossom Joy, the 6-year-old shelter rescue who has inspired countless acts of generosity, will be dining in the restaurant throughout the event. Guests are invited to stop by, share a moment with Gracee, and enjoy a delicious Swiss-inspired meal while giving back to a worthy cause.
“We are honored to host this event and support AFRP’s mission of saving lives,” said Annee Hayden Martin, Founder of Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. “Gracee has been an inspiration to so many, and we’re excited to bring the community together for such an important cause.”
