On October 3, 2021, Brown Dog Foundation will be hosting its annual fundraiser with a Patrons Wine Dinner held in Nashville, TN. 

Brown Dog Foundation is a 501c3 charity founded in 2006 and serves the entire United States with grants to families who are in difficult financial situations so they can care for their furry children.

They are celebrating 15 years performing this amazing service! I'm helping to raise money for this cause because I believe in the mission and have seen the amazing way it has helped animal owners for the past 15 years.

I never had any children, so my Golden Retriever Daisy was my child. I lost her to an aggressive cancer a year and a half ago. There was nothing the Dr. 's could do for her, but the expensive emergency tests, X-rays and boarding were not something I was going to forgo to be absolutely sure. I know there are many people out there who love their animals and can take special care of them no matter the situation – but not everyone can; especially during the past two years of the pandemic.

I’m glad that Brown Dog Foundation exists to provide support to families who have difficulty covering the full cost of life-saving veterinary expenses, whether a one-time surgery or help affording medication during an especially difficult period in their financial lives.

Please consider a donation to keep this organization’s cause alive and keep families together.

Everyone who donates at least $25 will receive the Zoom Link to attend the concert by Brennin Hunt on October 3! If you don’t know Brennin, he is an American actor and singer-songwriter who was born in Shawnee, OK. Hunt is best known for playing Roger Davis in Fox's Emmy award winning television musical RENT: Live on January 27, 2019. He made his Broadway theatre debut as Edward Lewis in Pretty Woman: The Musical in July 2019. Brennin has performed and toured all over North America, Europe, and the Middle East opening for mainstream artists, most recently with the legendary band America.

I am proud to be a founding Board Member of this organization and thank you for donating any amount you can to help those in need!

Thank you, Melissa Blankenship
