Whiskeys for Whiskers 2023
Saturday August 19th 6pm -10pm
Whiskeys for Whiskers is the brainchild of a few ladies (And one brave guy) who wanted to contribute to the world of animal rescue in the Upstate of South Carolina. We had all volunteered for one organization or another at some point and experienced major burnout. As you may know, the world of rescue can be infinitely rewarding, but it can also be heartbreakingly frustrating. After a few years’ hiatus, throwing support behind different organizations on a smaller scale than that of a full volunteer, we wanted to step back into a bigger role. The trouble was, there are so many amazing organizations in this area, we couldn’t pick just one! Since we had all had some experience in event planning and enjoyed it (and all had some experience in drinking liquor and enjoyed it) we picked some of our favorite non-profit animal welfare organizations as beneficiaries and Whiskeys for Whiskers was born!
At the event, local craft distilleries will come together to offer samples of their distilled liquors while we snack on hors d’oeuvres by Chef 360, enjoy pours from Razz Bartending, listen and dance to music, and bid on silent auction items…all while raising money for neglected, abused, and homeless animals in the Upstate and beyond!

The Theme
Silent Auction
We will be having a silent auction this year and we are looking for donations.
Pet Memorial
Pets are amazing. Everything about them is just perfect. They light up lives, even when they aren’t behaving at their very best. There is just one thing that I think we can all agree on that really stinks about pets – they leave us far too soon.
At Whiskeys for Whiskers, we’ll have a 70″ television running a montage of a variety of things including sponsorship appreciation and information about our contest, auction, and help to get home safely. We will thank our rescues who work diligently in our community and show some of the downright unimaginable transformations that the animals in their care have gone through.
Our slideshow will also offer the opportunity to memorialize a pet who has passed. For $25, (which can be purchased on our Ticket Page) email us a photo of your pet(s) in JPEG or GIF Format to whiskeysforwhiskers@gmail.com with the subject line “Memorial”. Tell us a little about your furbaby, including name and the day he or she crossed the bridge. Your pet will become part of our montage for the evening, honored repeatedly, and the funds will go directly into the hands of the organizations we are supporting at Whiskeys for Whiskers.
Please let us take a moment now to say that we are so sorry for your loss, whether it was 10 days or 10 years ago, but that we are so grateful that you had the opportunity to love your pet like no one else ever could.
