About Us

Paws for a Party began when Gwynne started asking friends and family to donate to a cause in honor of her birthday and other holidays. Inspired by the Project for Awesome, Cate and Gwynne decided to plan an event once a year that celebrates pets and their people by encouraging everyone to donate to a selected animal rescue organization.
