Wreaths for Alaqua at Old Florida Fish House

Old Florida Fish House will once again team up with Alaqua Animal Refuge for the 5th annual Alaqua Wreath Auction to raise funds for the private, nonprofit animal sanctuary committed to serving the Emerald Coast. The auction takes place at Old Florida Fish House in Seagrove Beach on Wednesday, November 28, beginning at 6:30 p.m. with 100% of proceeds benefiting the no-kill facility founded in 2007 and located on a sprawling and bucolic 10-acre farm in Freeport, Florida.

Twenty (20) wreaths created by local artists, businesses, and individuals especially for this event will be auctioned off. The wreaths, some of which will be packaged with bonus items and gift certificates, will each go to the highest bidder during this festive holiday fundraiser for Alaqua.

Area businesses, artists and talented individuals interested in decorating a wreath for this annual event should contact Jill McDonald with Old Florida Fish House at (850) 534-3045 or Mary Chris Murry with Alaqua Animal Refuge at mmurry@alaqua.org.

Alaqua Animal Refuge is a no-kill animal shelter and sanctuary, located in the panhandle of Florida. A member of the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries, Alaqua believes that every abused, neglected and homeless animal deserves a second chance. Committed to providing protection, shelter and care to animals in need, this private, non-profit Refuge also offers a full-service adoption center, educational outreach, and community programs that extend far beyond their geographic location. Since its inception in 2007, Alaqua has become a recognized leader in animal rescue, welfare, cruelty prevention, and advocacy. Alaqua is currently in the midst of a relocation and expansion capital campaign to build a one-of-a-kind facility—the first in the United States—on 100 donated acres. The new facility and sanctuary will allow Alaqua to continue all of the important work that is done now, as well as be an educational and training center to empower others to help animals and recreate the model worldwide.
