The PAWS Auction for the Animals is the largest fundraiser of the year for the Camden-based animal shelter, making it the most important. When it became clear they would need to move the event online in 2020, staff were worried.“We weren’t sure what to expect,” PAWS Executive Director, Shelly Butler, explained.
“We had to cancel three major fundraisers this year due to the pandemic. The fundraisers we were able to hold virtually online helped but didn’t receive the level of participation they typically do at live events.”
Despite the challenges, PAWS was thrilled to see that the online auction raised more funds than the shelter expected. “We are very grateful to the community,” Butler shared. “We set our fundraising goals for this year’s auction conservatively, keeping the pandemic in mind. We ended up exceeding those goals by 33%, which will make such a difference to the animals in 2021.”
