On Thursday, Oct. 24, the St. Augustine Humane Society will celebrate the release of its 2025 Pin Up Paws Calendar with a soiree and silent auction at The White Room, 1 King St., St. Augustine. This and the organization’s other annual fundraiser events support the work of the St. Augustine Humane Society, which is committed to promoting successful pet ownership through various services.
“We love hosting these events and gathering together our community of animal advocates,” said Carolyn Sindad Smith, executive director of the St. Augustine Humane Society. “But it’s their purpose that is truly extraordinary. Our charitable events raise funds that help keep our free and low-cost services available. We value being the trusted source that residents can turn to when they need advice, a helping hand, or critical services. And we take that trust very seriously.”
The St. Augustine Humane Society takes its mission very seriously, ensuring the organization can help as many pets and “pet parents” as possible. The organization’s end-of-year numbers show its success. In 2023 alone, the St. Augustine Humane Society:
The St. Augustine Humane Society is also committed to maintaining a standard of excellence in its operations. It maintains a Platinum Seal of Transparency from GuideStar, a service that analyzes nonprofits. Only 5% of U.S. nonprofits hold a seal of transparency, and less than 1% have earned the Platinum Seal. This means that philanthropists can feel confident their financial gifts are being used appropriately.
The 2025 Sweet Things Pin Up Paws Party is a fun experience for those looking to support the St. Augustine Humane Society’s work. The Pin Up Paws Auction is packed with fun experiences, useful gift cards and unique one-of-a-kind collectibles.
All auction items can be viewed at 32auctions.com/organizations/36391/auctions/163255?r=1&t=all.
The event promises a delightful evening with dinner, complimentary wine, live music by the House Cats Quartet, a silent auction, wine pull and more.
