Hops & Hounds
Hops & Hounds Fundraising Event!
Without further ado, we're absolutely thrilled to share that our 4th Annual Hops & Hounds Fundraising event raised a jaw-dropping $33,324 for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and our beloved local animal rescues!
A massive THANK YOU to our phenomenal sponsors whose unwavering support helped us shatter last year's record of $26,000! Your commitment and support made this achievement possible!
We’d like to give a special shoutout to Jen, Tommy, and their fantastic team at Iron Smoke Distillery. Your generous hospitality provided the perfect venue for us to quite literally “let the dogs out” while enjoying breathtaking performances by headliner Claudia Hoyser and the ever-talented Jude Wabick!
Heartfelt gratitude also goes out to our incredible Paws and Claws staff team, friends, and family——you all played an essential role in making this event a resounding success!
And a HUGE thank you to Mike Gioja, Tabatha Mapstone, Jax & Roxy, and the Gioja Giving Fund for their remarkable matching contributions of $11,000—truly amazing!!
To everyone who attended with their furry companions or supported online: your selflessness is nothing short of inspiring. Together we’re making strides in improving the lives of those battling life-limiting diseases like Cystic Fibrosis while also supporting our local animal rescues in need. Your belief in our mission fuels us every year at Hops & Hounds. Thank you all for being part of this impactful journey. Together we are undeniably making a difference right here in our Rochester community!
With immense appreciation,
Paws and Claws Pet Care, Inc.
