Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease)
April 15, 2008 - Thirty local crafters will host “Crafts on the Green at Southern Village” May 4 from 1 to 5 p.m. to benefit 2PawsUp, a Raleigh-based, non-profit animal rescue organization.
The Chapel Hill craft show will feature handmade art and adorable, adoptable pets from 2PawsUp, a non-profit organization that travels across North Carolina rescuing animals on “death row,” rather than taking them in from individual people. The organization currently fosters over 80 dogs and cats in need of loving homes.
“We are very excited to be joining forces with local artists to raise money for homeless animals,” said Jessica Stall, President of 2PawsUp. “We are a very new and fresh rescue in the area, rescuing animals primarily from high kill shelters. Being completely reliant on donations, events like this and the support of local businesses and individuals is imperative to the growth and success of our organization.”
Participating artists, all of whom share a love of pets, are uniting to sell their beautiful, handmade crafts so they can donate a portion of the show’s proceeds to 2PawsUp. Visitors will be able to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts for a variety of occasions, such as Mother’s Day, birthdays and weddings. Artists unable to attend the Southern Village event have donated items such as gift baskets to be raffled off during the show.
New Resident Solutions of Chapel Hill’s member businesses are sponsoring a “Pet Adoption in the Triangle” page featuring 2PawsUp at http://www.newresidentsolutions.com/trianglepetadoption.
