This summer’s Whiskers in the Moonlight concert brought out the best of LA’s music lovers and cat advocates for a night of fun under the stars. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful in the open-air courtyard of the famous Autry in Griffith Park. As guests nibbled on vegan tacos and drank wine or beer, the party got underway with Morgan Fairchild as Mistress of Ceremonies, and a special video message from FixNation friend and Board Member, Jackson Galaxy.
The three acts, Podunk Poets, Eileen Carey, and The Carl Verheyen Band got a few brave souls on their feet for dancing by the stage, while other guests enjoyed the music seated with friends throughout the venue. Long-time volunteer and sponsor of the event, Joe Federico joined Holly Meowy to sell raffle tickets and announce winners of cat trees, t-shirts, and other prizes. The silent auction with dozens of unique gifts, including tickets to professional sporting events, and a private tour of Jay Leno’s famous car collection sparked competitive but friendly bidding throughout the evening. The photo booth with props offered friends a chance to capture silly moments.
When the curtain closed and all was said and done, FixNation raised significant funds from the inaugural event. Many thanks to everyone who helped to make the event possible including the bands, donors, volunteers, and guests. We look forward to seeing you at future “Whiskers” events!
