This year's auction was a fabulous success! Thank you again for joining us. We have one unsold item that we're offering on a first-come-first-serve basis: 
Classic SPCA Birthday Party: $100
Ten children (including birthday child) will have an unforgettable party with 1.5 hours in the party room with an SPCA party host, a guided tour to visit the cats and dogs at the SPCA, goodie bags and pet-themed crafts to take home, and a special visit from one of the SPCA dogs! Paper products, set-up, and clean-up included. Your child and their friends will have a 'woofing' good time! (Richmond Magazine has even voted the SPCA the "Best Place for a Child's Birthday Party.")
