February 2026

Dear Pawfectly Delicious Community,

As February comes to a close, our team is already looking ahead to one of the most meaningful moments of our year, the Annual Fundraiser, Paws & Pours, scheduled for Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 2-5 pm at Fort Hunt Park in Alexandria, VA. This event brings together dog lovers, families, supporters, and our incredible employees for an afternoon of celebration and community. It is also one of the most important ways we sustain the programs and opportunities that make Pawfectly Delicious such a special place to work. 

To make Paws & Pours possible, we rely on the generosity of event sponsors. Sponsorships help underwrite the costs of hosting the fundraiser, from venue and equipment, food, beverages, and activities for our four-legged friends; ensuring that every dollar raised the day of the event goes directly toward supporting our mission. Your partnership allows us to continue providing meaningful employment, job training, and enrichment activities for our team of adults with disabilities. 

If you or someone you know would consider sponsoring Paws & Pours, we would be grateful to connect. Every contribution helps us create an unforgettable event for our team and our community. Please reach out to us at:  info@pawfectlydelicious.org and we will be happy to discuss the various sponsorship opportunities. 

As we prepare for the fundraiser, we are also excited to kick off a full season of spring events. You can find us out about and about at:

With Gratitude,

Anne
