THE ST. AUGUSTINE HUMANE SOCIETY CELEBRATES ANNUAL PIN UP PAWS CALENDAR + AUCTION
ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (September 9, 2024) – The St. Augustine Humane Society is celebrating the release of its 2025 Pin Up Paws Calendar with an evening of dinner, music, and fun on Thursday, October 24th, at The White Room at 1 King Street in downtown St. Augustine. The Sweet Things Pin Up Paws Party is accompanied by the Pin Up Paws Auction, a silent auction featuring various collectible items, experiences, services, and more. The auction opens for online bidding on October 4th and runs through November 2nd. Both events raise funds to support the lifesaving work of the St. Augustine Humane Society.
“We’re so excited to reveal this year’s Pin Up Paws Calendar,” says Carolyn Sindad Smith, Executive Director of the St. Augustine Humane Society. “And while it’s adorable and fun, it supports a truly critical mission. Every cent raised helps us provide services, food, training, and more to heal animals in need, prevent overpopulation, and create responsible life-long pet guardians. Our goal for the Pin Up Paws Auction this year is $14,000, and we have some exciting items up for grabs!”
The 2025 Sweet Things Pin Up Paws Auction is packed with fun experiences, useful gift cards, and unique one-of-a-kind collectibles. Two of the most sought-after items will surely be signed guitars from two very famous animal advocates: the late Florida icon Jimmy Buffett and the reigning queen of pop, Taylor Swift. All auction items can be viewed here. Most items are open to bid online, while some items will only be available for bid at the Pin Up Paws Party. The event promises a delightful evening with a scrumptious dinner, complimentary wine, live music by the House Cats Quartet, a silent auction, wine pull, and more. The Sweet Things Pin Up Calendar will be unveiled and available for purchase at the party. Each guest will receive a copy of the 2025 calendar. The Pin Up Paws calendar features thirteen pets who received the most votes during open voting. Katherine, a black-and-white tuxedo cat, will grace the cover for the second year running. Cupcake, Lucy, Bix, Otis, Ginger, Mabel, Piper, Charlie, Sookie, Layla, Tucker, and Harley are the 12 second-place winners who will represent the months. All pets have completed a professional photo shoot with award-winning photographer Addison Fitzgerald. Fine artist and graphic designer Maribel Angel completes the calendar with whimsical designs and theming. Tickets for the Pin Up Paws Party are $145 per person and may be purchased here. Photos can be found here.
“We’d like to shine an extra special light on one of our calendar winners, Sookie,” continues Sindad Smith. “She was entered by a local rescue, Swamp Haven. Please consider giving this sweet senior pup a loving home.”
