Hobe Sound Animal Protection League


Hobe Sound Animal Protection League (HSAPL) is happy to announce their Party in Paradise fundraiser which was held on Sunday, March 22nd at the private island home of Nephele and Tom Domencich in Sewalls Point was a huge success.  Nephele Domencich, a board member of HSAPL, was gracious enough to offer her home for a lavish party to benefit HSAPL.  A live band playing island music, tropical drinks and a vast array of delectable gourmet treats was offered. Hobe Sound Animal Protection League paid special tribute to Chris Farrell of Channel 12 News for his help with getting animals adopted and spreading awareness of HSAPL's mission and special events.  With over 125 people in attendance they raised over $17,000.

Master of Ceremonies, Bob Castellano, invited guests attending Party in Paradise to take part in the "Spay/Neuter Challenge".  Guests were challenged to cover the costs for as many spay/neuter clinics as possible by purchasing a paw print sticker for $500 and placing it on a calendar date significant to them.  Those who sponsor a spay/neuter clinic will receive a special certificate commemorating their donation.  They will also be listed on the program at HSAPL's annual Paws for a Cause Fundraiser on November 14th, but mostly, they will have the satisfaction in knowing that their contribution had a direct and powerful impact toward reducing the population of unwanted pets in their own community.  The spay/neuter challenge is an ongoing initiative and HSAPL welcome donations from individuals and corporations who want to take part.
