CAPE CORAL, Fla.\u2014The Cape Coral Animal Shelter will host its 6th Annual PJ\u2019s and Paws \u2014 A Night at the Shelter on February 27. This unique pajama party benefits the animals residing at the shelter.<\/p>\n
Participants will don their coziest pajamas and spend the night with shelter pets. The event encourages team building, as individuals and corporate teams are paired with dogs or cats for a night filled with activities such as reading bedtime stories, going for walks, and playing games.<\/p>\n
Liz McCauley, Executive Director of the Cape Coral Animal Shelter, shared the event’s origins.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur first PJ\u2019s and Paws was born out of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said McCauley. \u201cWhat started as an experiment turned into something magical. We raised over $36,000, had an incredible amount of fun, and created an event that has since become one of our signature fundraisers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants will also engage in a painting party where pets create colorful art with human assistance. Each participant must raise a minimum of $2,000, aiming to reach a collective goal of $40,000 to support the shelter\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
To share the fun with the community, the event will feature Facebook Live check-ins. The shelter invites more participants and corporate teams to join in on this memorable night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CAPE CORAL, Fla.\u2014The Cape Coral Animal Shelter will host its 6th Annual PJ\u2019s and Paws \u2014 A Night…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[209,211,210,3837,325],"class_list":{"0":"post-128119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cape-coral","8":"tag-cape-coral","9":"tag-cape-coral-headlines","10":"tag-cape-coral-news","11":"tag-collaborator_gen_stories","12":"tag-lee"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
