Compassion in the Community – February 2023

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and there are plenty of ways to show some love to the animals of the Virginia Beach SPCA. Here are some ways our community is giving back this February.

Wags and Wine at Virginia Beach Winery – February 11th
Gabrielle Kadylak Real Estate is hosting Wags and Wine to benefit the animals of the VBSPCA. The fun takes place at Virginia Beach Winery Saturday, February 11th. This event features free wine, food, and photos as well as raffles. All attendees are asked to at least one item from our Wish List or a monetary donation.

VBSPCA Puppy Bowl Tail-Gate Party at Smartmouth Pilot House – February 12th
Join us as we cheer on the two VBSPCA puppies who were selected to play in the 2023 Puppy Bowl! We’re hosting a watch party Sunday, February 12th from 1:00pm-4:00pm at Smartmouth Pilot House – and our adorable puppy athletes, Espresso and Briscoe, will be there to greet their fans! The event is free to attend, and Smartmouth will donate 10% of all sales during the event to the animals of the VBSPCA. Plus, you’ll get snacks and giveaways from our sponsors: Checkered Flag, Heavenly Kettle Corn, and Nothing Bundt Cakes. Click here to learn more.

Jazz Night at Cobalt Grille – February 16th
On Thursday, February 16th, Cobalt Grille will host their monthly jazz night featuring The Cobalt Blue Band. The band plays from 6:00pm- 8:30pm, and Cobalt Grille will be generously donating 20% of the night’s sales to the VBSPCA. For added fun, ballroom dancers from Marie Rants dance studio be onsite to get people on their feet and dancing! Make sure to reserve your table in advance since tables sell out quickly.

Love is in the Air – All Month Long
Throughout the month of February, we want to spread love to the homeless animals of the VBSPCA as they wait to find loving homes. For every donation of $5 or more, we will post a heart with your name on it in our shelter to showcase how much our community cares. Stop by our shelter or donate via our social media posts to make your $5 donation.

Signature Management Corporation Donation Drive – All Month Long
Throughout the month of February, Signature Management Corporation will be collecting donations at all 10 of its properties. To participate, pick up an item from our Wish List and drop it off in the donation bins located in each property’s office.
