Furevermore

The Event

of the Year

Furevermore is an annual fundraising auction and gala. Proceeds from this event help further the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation’s mission to support the programs and initiatives of the Seattle Animal Shelter by engaging the community, increasing awareness, and raising essential funds.

Pandemic

Pivot

Unfortunately the event was postponed due to pandemic health and safety concerns. Rather than host a gala, the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation decided to trade coattails for overalls. Existing event materials were transformed from Furevermore to Pawsitive Projects — a one-day volunteer event to complete shelter improvement projects.

"Laura has done an exceptional job as Design Lead for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation's volunteer-run marketing committee. She is organized, innovative, and adaptable. Laura is unafraid to jump into new situations with little context and work her way toward elegant solutions, staying in communication as projects evolve. SASF's events and initiatives would not succeed without her creative contributions. I would highly recommend Laura as a visual designer who consistently delivers impactful work on a non-profit budget."
