The Furry Faces Foundation (F3) Catsino event was held for the third time on Sunday April, 3 at the Beveridge Place Pub and was a complete sell out. The mock casino event is an animal benefit fundraiser that this year raised via silent auction and direct donation $4,313.
Twelve games hosted by local businesses (including the West Seattle Herald) and animal rescue groups ranged from roulette to a variety of card games and and craps tables.
According to Foundation founder and President Teri Ensley, "Frances Hinson purchased the very first ticket --ticket #1 . She was also the only guest to visit all 13 tables!!!! "
The Elvis Twins (Manny and Matt ), of Georgetown Brewing Company, were rockin 'n' rollin' at the Brewery Craps Table. Their curly black wigs and red capes were ...well....their own Las Vegas Act.
Purrfect Pals, AARF and F3 all benefited from the silent auction.
Ensley said "What a successful community event. No one person or group can take credit…this event is a model of teamwork, brainstorming and shining, positive attitudes. From the planning, to the making of the gaming tables & layouts, to our guests that come to the event…everyone is equally valuable!
'A big thank you to Gary and Terri, owners of the Beveridge Place Pub, for once again hosting and emceeing this event; to AARF, Purrfect Pals and Regional Animal Services of King County for letting us showcase their important work; to our local businesses who partner with us by 'adopting' the tables, donating prices and media attention, and selling our advanced tickets to F3 supporters.!'
