'May the FURth' Fundraiser Benefits Shelter Cats

From Good Mews: Good Mews, Georgia’s original no-kill, cage-free cat shelter, will be hosting a Star Wars themed “May the FURth” fundraiser at Pontoon Brewing on Friday, May 4 from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. The event will feature craft beer specials as well as a costume contest, music, games, and a 50/50 raffle.

Costumes are optional but encouraged. Two 4-day passes to MomoCon will be up for grabs during the costume contest. The 50/50 raffle will have a cash first prize, and a second chance drawing will send one lucky winner home with tickets to the Braves vs. Cubs game on May 15.

Pontoon Brewing is located at 8601 Dunwoody Place Building 500, Suite 500, in Sandy Springs. Entry into the event is free; wristbands may be purchased at the door for $25 and include 5 drinks. Select pints will also be on special from 3:00 to 11:00 p.m.

“We’re excited to have an out-of-this-world time while supporting the cats and kittens of Good Mews!” said Elizabeth Finch, Vice President of the Board of Directors. “We’d like to thank Pontoon Brewing and MomoCon for supporting this event, which makes a direct, positive impact on the lives of homeless cats – just like C3PO, who was named in honor of this occasion. We’d also like to extend our utmost appreciation to the individuals who donated additional prizes for the contest. We’re definitely looking forward to seeing all the creative costumes!”

Costume contest winners will be announced at 8:00 p.m. with the raffle drawing following at 9:00 p.m. Raffle winners need not be present. All proceeds from the 50/50 raffle, and a portion of wristband/beverage sales, will benefit Good Mews and help to find loving homes for the cats and kittens at the shelter.
