UR THANKS TO

Celebrity Emcee Farah Jadran Farah began her journalism career in 2006 as a magazine writer and editor, but her passion for storytelling started long before that. As a child, she interviewed her family using a toy microphone, dreaming of becoming a reporter. Born and raised outside of Chicago, she grew up immersed in news and athletics, running competitively throughout high school and college.

Although a cancer diagnosis changed her athletic career, Farah is now cancer-free and cherishes every opportunity to stay active.

After earning her master’s degree from Syracuse University, Farah helped launch Syracuse Woman Magazine before transitioning to broadcast journalism. She is now a weekend anchor and reporter at KING 5 in Seattle. Farah and her husband share their home with three dogs—two of whom are rescues. Helping animals find their forever homes is a mission close to her heart, and she is proud to support organizations like PAWS.

Auctioneer John Curley John Curley is a multiple Emmy Awardwinning TV host and award-winning writer and radio personality with 30 years of performance experience.

From New York to Napa, John Curley is the World’s Greatest Charity Auctioneer!

Giving Back to PNW Natural Habitats This year, PAWS Wild Night is supporting the natural habitats that our region’s wildlife calls home. In partnership with the Snohomish Conservation District, we’ve replaced traditional floral arrangements with native potted plants that will be returned to local gardens and natural spaces to support wildlife and restore ecosystems.

Where These Plants Will Go: Rain Garden in Lynnwood: Many of the plants you see tonight will be installed in a rain garden in Lynnwood this fall in partnership with the Snohomish Conservation District and the City of Lynnwood. Rain gardens filter stormwater runoff and help keep our waterways and communities healthy. Learn more: snohomishcd.org/rain-gardens Orca Recovery Day at Skykomish River Park: The trees will be planted during Orca Recovery Day in Monroe, WA, to improve our community and wildlife habitats. Join the Snohomish Conservation District and the City of Monroe for this family-friendly event on Saturday, October 19.

Dear PAWS Supporter, Welcome to Wild Night! We are so glad to have you join us as we celebrate the expert care that PAWS provides for animals. Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to our mission, your support makes a difference.

Since 1967, PAWS has been a beacon of hope for animals of all kinds, offering safe shelter, rehabilitation, and adoption services for over 150,000 dogs and cats and caring for more than 160,000 wild animals from over two hundred species. From abandoned senior dogs to injured eagles and owls, we are here to provide the help they need.

Just as individual animals play a vital role in their species’ survival, you, our supporters, are the lifeblood of PAWS. Your generosity enables us to continue our lifesaving work and make a positive impact on the lives of thousands of animals who need our help.

Thank you for being here tonight. Your presence and gifts of support enable our ability to help those who are vulnerable and voiceless. Let’s celebrate the incredible achievements we have accomplished together and look forward to a future filled with compassion and kindness for all of earth’s creatures.

With gratitude,

Dear PAWS Supporter, Ever since a stray springer spaniel wandered into my life as a young child, I have been deeply committed to helping animals in need. As the Chair of this year’s PAWS Wild Night Gala, it fills me with great happiness and pride to join you in making a difference for animals.

We have an extraordinary evening planned, filled with moments that promise to touch your heart as we celebrate our shared passion for saving animals.

Bid on silent and live auction items, connect with PAWS experts in the Wildlife Wonders Lounge, play in the Puppy Playground, explore the Whiskers and Tails Art Gallery, and raise your paddle high during the Fund-A-Need. Your participation tonight is a lifeline to cats, dogs, and wildlife who are so deserving of a second chance.

Serving my community has always been my passion, and PAWS holds a special place in my heart. Our support is vital to ensuring PAWS is here to provide lifesaving care to thousands of animals. I hope you will join me tonight in giving generously.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Towne PAWS Wild Night Gala Chair

Weeklong Dream Getaway to A Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France

La Maison Panoramique is a charming 3-bedroom, stone cottage perched on a 300 ft. cliff above the River Lot in the exquisite Medieval village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. It is in the land of sunflowers, truffles, and Malbec wines.

This weeklong stay is an amazing opportunity to live like a local in a French village that feels straight out of a fairytale.

Start the day with a stroll to the top of the village to enjoy an espresso and a freshly baked croissant or walk along the river, have a picnic, or swim at the local beach.

See 30,000-year-old cave paintings at Pech Merle, only a few kilometers away in Cabrerets. Hike France’s Grand Randonee trail system. Bike or drive the old winding road along the Lot River, considered to be the most beautiful 100 km in France. Boat or kayak along the river or even parasail above it!

Finish your evenings with a traditional French country meal in one of the many delightful restaurants or make your dinner in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with purchases from the bountiful local village markets.
