The Washington Humane Society will kick off its annual Fashion for Paws fundraising blitz on Monday.
Although a launch event slated for the Jefferson Hotel is closed to the public, the Humane Society says all metro Washingtonians can chip in by eating dessert.
As the campaign begins Monday, Georgetown Cupcake will debut a line of baked goods, all inspired by Fashion for Paws, at its locations throughout the area. All proceeds from the cupcakes, which will be available through April 14, will go to the Humane Society.
Tickets for the fundraiser’s signature event – an April 14 fashion show at the National Building Museum – start at $95.
Since 2007, Fashion for Paws has raised more than $1.5 million. This year, organizers hope to raise $625,000.
