- **Event Description**: Join us for our First Friday networking event at Elevate! We are proud to partner with the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County this month to help our local fur babies find their forever homes.

Your $25 entry donation supports Elevate’s mission:
Your contribution directly funds our ongoing community outreach, local events, and the initiatives that allow us to continue serving Port Charlotte. Your entry includes all you can eat food, drinks, and access to an evening of networking with local business owners and community members.

Support the "Gotcha Day" Bundle Initiative:
We are launching "Gotcha Day" Bundles to ensure every animal adopted from the Animal Welfare League starts their new life with comfort and care. These bundles are gifted to the shelter or directly to families who adopt at the event. Every bundle includes a blanket, leash, collar or harness, training treats, chew toy, ball, bandana, and calming spray.

How you can contribute to the Bundles:

• Sponsor a Bundle: Choose from four tiers: The Welcome Mat ($25), The Safety Net ($45), The Comfort Kit ($75), or The Full Gotcha Box ($150).

• Fill the Box: Every $5 or $10 donation helps us pack these life changing kits.

• Business Sponsorship: For business owners, we have four exclusive, limited spots available. These spots are identical in terms of the branding and recognition they receive as a sponsor and are available on a first come, first serve basis. Send us a message to secure your place.

• Donate Items: We are accepting new, unused pet items to include in our bundles. Please refer to our event posts to see what we are currently accepting and what items we cannot take.

Ways to donate to the Bundles:
1. Visit our website ElevatePride.org/Donate and please note "Gotcha Day" in the comments.
2. Donate directly at the event.
3. Send us a direct message to coordinate your contribution.

Come enjoy great food, build meaningful professional connections, and make a real difference for our local animal community. We cannot wait to see you there!
