Lots of the non-profit organizations are sending us press releases about non-event items. We will try to share that information as we receive it, but the true goal of Valley Promotions is to promote fund-raising events, so that's where our main focus will remain!

Paddy O’Paws Benefit Brunch and Auction Raises over $30,000 for The Conway Area Humane Society
Animal lovers and CAHS supporters came out in droves on Sunday, April 3 for the Annual Paddy O’Paws Benefit Brunch and Auction. During the brunch folks bid on the wide array of silent auction items, Following the brunch auctioneer Ailie Byers led the lively bidding starting things off with the Heads and Tails game with lucky winner Terry Leavitt winning two tickets on Southwest Airlines. Live auction bidders went home with some incredible items including a package for Hardwater kiting, a dog and human character in Lisa Gardner’s 2017 suspense novel, a week-long vacation in Cancun, Flatbread Pizza for a year and a trip on a photo safari in Africa just to name a few. Supporters were very generous in donating to the Fund-a- Need portion of the event, and although numbers are still coming in the total net is expected to be over $30,000.
Many new faces were in the crowd this year and the event saw record attendance with a more than a sold out event. Look for next year’s date to be announced by the end of November, as it will likely be scheduled close to St. Paddy’s Day in 2017.
Thank you to the many volunteers, board members, CAHS staff and community members that attended, donated and in some way helped make this event a success.
