Mutts and Margaritas is Back!

After a slight, um, “paws,” the popular YMCA Mutts and Margaritas event came back to the Esplanade on April 28. About 137 attendees came to enjoy a margarita, mingle with two-and four-legged friends, and cheer on the pups during the Pooch Parade with funds going towards financial assistance for Early Learning families for childcare and help with youth development programs. The event also featured a silent auction and raffles.

The YMCA thanks these supporters for a puptacular event: CJ’s on the Bay, Miranda's Hairworld, the Patty Baker Humane Society (who brought a pup available for adoption), Marco Island Academy Key Club, The Esplanade Management Team, and all YMCA volunteers!

Donations for Silent Auction came from CJ's on the Bay, Miranda's Hairworld, Bella Florals, Artist Peter Sottong, The Snook Inn, Marco Prime, Davinci's Ristorante, The Oyster Society, Joey's Pizza, Mara – Dog Walker Extraordinaire, Key West Express, Paddy Murphy's, Sand Bar, The 844, Captain Tony's, The Island Hideout, Osteria Capri, Sunset Grill, A Better Solution Wellness, Natalie's Skin Solutions, A Blinds Co, Leebee Fish House, and Get Cat Fit.
