The annual fundraiser for the Cape Coral Animal Shelter presented by Wicked Dolphin Distillery was a huge success! The 1950’s Americana themed event rocked with fun costumes, cocktails, food, music, dancing, contests, and live and silent auctions. It also raised more than an estimated $100,000, which included a generous donation made by the Gunterberg Charitable Foundation, according to Wicked Dolphin Distillery owner JoAnn Elardo, president of the nonprofit Cape Coral Animal Shelter.

 

New and previous sponsors supported the event with generous donations and auction items. Wicked Dolphin Distillery was the presenting sponsor. John Michaels Diamond & Jewelry sponsored the champagne diamond drop, in which a lucky guest received a 1-carat diamond at the end of the evening. Other sponsors included: Texas Roadhouse; Stephen Todd Interiors; Gavin’s Ace Hardware; High Impact Designz; 7daybox.com; Animal ER of Southwest Florida; LAI Construction Management; Raso Realty; Red Salon & Spa; Myers Brettholtz & Company, PA; CapeStyle magazine; Gator Press; FOS Furniture, Morgan Stanley; Beach Dog, Capecoral.com, Cape Coral Lifestyle, Key West Express; and The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village.
