Join the Young Friends of PAWS for the return of their signature event, Pours for PAWS, taking place on Thursday, April 23, to benefit the lifesaving work of the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Hosted at Positano Coast and building on the success of the last three years’ events, Pours for PAWS will feature a three-hour open bar with beer, wine, and cocktails; delicious vegetarian and vegan food; music by DJ Byrd; a wide-ranging silent auction featuring items from generous partners across the Philadelphia region; and more.

As the city’s largest animal rescue partner and provider of affordable veterinary care, PAWS saves thousands of Philadelphia’s most vulnerable animals each year — from sick and injured stray dogs and cats to fragile kittens and senior animals who need a second chance – and enables thousands of pets to remain part of the families who love them. Animal lovers age 21 and older are invited to attend Pours for PAWS and help power PAWS’ mission to make Philadelphia a no-kill city by supporting rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, foster programs, affordable vet care, pet pantry services, TNR efforts, and more.

“We are thrilled to announce our fourth annual Pours for PAWS event,” said Jane Nevins, Young Friends of PAWS co-chair. “With much gratitude to our host, Positano Coast, our sponsors, and the Philadelphia community for supporting PAWS’ lifesaving mission, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic evening with food, drinks, and dancing. Last year’s event sold out, and we expect it to sell out again, so get your tickets today!”
