It’s
glitzy, glamorous, celebrity-packed, and it’s all for the animals. It’s
the Lint Roller Party, and Best Friends is going to send one winner of
our win-a-trip drawing and guest to attend it. The annual event raises
funds for the Best Friends’ Los Angeles Programs, a vital cog in our mission to bring about a time of No More Homeless Pets.
This year, the Lint Roller Party will be held on October 3, 2009 at the Hollywood Palladium. To celebrate Best Friends 25th
anniversary, we’ll be going back in time to the year Best Friends was
founded, and partying like it’s 1984. To that end, the Bangles (one of
the greatest all-female bands ever) will be providing the live
entertainment, and a D.J. will be spinning all the favorites of the
decade.
Vegetarian cuisine by Wolfgang Puck, auctions, open bar and dancing until midnight round out the evening.
The chair of this year’s Lint Roller
honorary committee and the recipient of a special award is actress
Katherine Heigl, star of “Grey’s Anatomy” and the summer blockbuster
“The Ugly Truth.”
The winner of the drawing and his or her guest will receive:
- free airfare to/from Los Angeles
- two-nights accommodation at the famed Roosevelt Hotel
- VIP passes to Lint Roller, which includes reserved premiere seating, VIP lounge access and valet parking
- tickets
to the pre-party Founders’ Reception, where you can hobnob with the
people who built Best Friends from the ground up and chat with the
stars of National Geographic Channel’s “DogTown”
- the chance to walk the Red Carpet
… all in all, a prize worth around $2,000, and a great way to support Best Friends while having a great time in la-la land.
To enter is easy. Simply text “PARTY”
to 90999 on your cell phone.* You will then be entered to win, plus
you’ll receive text alerts from Best Friends. (You’ll also receive a
message asking if you’d like to donate $5 to Best Friends. Of course,
the donation is not necessary to enter the drawing.)
The win-a-trip drawing has already
begun and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. The winner will
be announced on Thursday, September 17. Stay tuned to our website for
the announcement.
