Cosmo's Fundraiser was a Huge Success!
James Island, SC – The event, sponsored by Nectar Bar and Grill, raised more than $4,100. Because Cosmo’s story was so heart-felt, Pet Helpers was able to raise $3,000 leading up to the night of event just on donations alone.
The event was held at the newly renovated Nectar Bar and Grill located on James Island. More than 300 guests were able to enjoy delicious food that was prepared by Chef Kevin of Nectar. People of all ages enjoyed the sunny but cool evening, while listening to music on Nectar’s dog friendly spacious patio.
“I was truly blown away by everyone who came out to support Cosmo and the other special needs animals of Pet Helpers,” stated Carol Linville, President/Founder of Pet Helpers.
The silent auction items ranged from a handmade wrought iron hanging piece donated by local artist Phil Rodgers to a dog gift basket donated by Pawpurri of James Island. Music performed by Medicine Hat and DJ Moo Moo was enjoyed by all. Pet Helpers would like to thank all their sponsors, donors, volunteers and staff who were all able to help make the event spectacular!
Executive Director, Suzanne Carr added, “Since our turnout was so great, and people were so generous with donations, we will be able to pay Cosmo’s medical bill along with our other special needs animals as well.”
Over 300 people came out!
Of course the star of night came out too!
Meet Cosmo!
Cosmo is a 4 year old Terrier Mix. Pet Helpers’ staff members like to refer to him as a larger version of “Benji.” After all that he has been through, Cosmo is still a very sweet and lovable dog. Cosmo has led a tough life. You see, Cosmo was hit by a car. He broke his leg and also incurred some head trauma. While he was getting his leg fixed (Dr. Ohlandt had to put a pin in his leg to help the healing process) we also found out that Cosmo is heartworm positive. Everything is curable but very costly. Pet Helpers has already spent $1,000 for his surgeries and they plan on spending up to $3,000 to get Cosmo back to 100%.
