70 Years of Saving Lives - Celebrate with the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast

Humane Society of the Treasure Coast’s Paws and Claws Gala to celebrate 70th anniversary

STUART, Fla. — Seventy years and counting! That’s the number of years that the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast (HSTC) has been serving shelter animals in Martin County. That’s why there is plenty to celebrate at the upcoming Paws and Claws Gala, the HSTC’s premier fundraiser from 6:30 p.m.-11 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, at the Pittenger Center at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 623 SE Ocean Blvd. A complimentary valet will be available on site.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive in elegant cocktail attire to celebrate the 70th anniversary. The cocktail hour in the Courtyard will begin at 6:30 p.m. with an opportunity to peruse the silent auction items. For dinner, the Chef's Table will prepare expertly crafted cuisine, which will be followed by a live auction. Then guests can dance the night away to the sounds of The Chase Band.

Event chairpersons Jennifer Campbell, Cindy Greenspan and Monica Olsen have been working hard along with their volunteer Paws and Claws committee to organize the event. The committee members are Dixie Church, Diane Coakley, Carol Dippy, Debbie Hansen, Kimberly Izzolo, Shaun Kelly, Allola McGraw, Lisa Patricelli, Sarah Ralicki, Alison Shade, Wendy Talbot, Melony Zaravelis and Kay Ziegler.

“This year’s gala is particularly special as we celebrate 70 years an organization,” said Community Events Manager Alyssa Bean. “Our expansive history spanning seven decades of helping the animals in Martin County would not be possible without the support of our community. More so, in recent years, the services we offer have broadened tremendously to benefit the people, too. What better way to mark this milestone as we throw the party of a lifetime with our nearest and dearest friends!”

This event is generously presented by The Catsman Foundation. Additional sponsor support includes Integrity Garage Door Services, Apex Pavers & Pools, Stuart Magazine, TC Palm, Transmarine Chartering, Inc., JetLoan Capital, WPBF and Saelzer Atlas Wealth Management Group of Raymond James.

The cost to attend is $275 per person. Tickets may be purchased at www.hstc1.org/Gala.
