Join Us for 2025 Endless Pawsabilities Supply Drive & Raffle Event


How to Earn Raffle Tickets Banner

Mark your calendars, cat lovers—it’s almost time! The 2025 Endless Pawsabilities Supply Drive & Raffle Event is happening on Saturday, September 27th, from 2–7 PM at St. Michael’s Brewing Company in Navarre. We’ll be gathering in their beautiful back beer garden for an afternoon filled with community, cats, and chances to win some amazing prizes.



Why is it Different From Last Year?


If you joined us for Endless Pawsabilities in 2024, you know it was our very first in-person event—and truth be told, it came together at the last minute. While it performed better than we ever dreamed (thank you, supporters! 🐾), we also discovered some kinks that needed smoothing out.


This year, we’ve had the time to plan, brainstorm, and fine-tune the fundraiser so it runs more smoothly and creates even more impact. That’s why we’re introducing a clear ticket-earning system for raffle prizes, along with a bigger mix of baskets, door prizes every 30 minutes, and even a silent auction basket!


Our goal for 2025 is ambitious:

  • $3,000 in cash donations

  • $1,000 worth of supplies


With your help, we’re confident we can surpass last year’s totals and hit this exciting milestone—all while creating Endless Pawsabilities for the cats at SOCKS.


P.s. We are still learning, so bear with us if it isn't purr-fect, and we would love to hear feedback!


🎟 Door Prize Tickets


When you arrive at the event, our friendly greeters will hand you a door prize ticket—no donation required! Every single guest gets one ticket just for showing up.


Here’s the scoop:


  • Door prizes will be announced every 30 minutes throughout the event.

  • Prizes include everything from food truck gift certificates to movie tickets.

  • You must be present to win a door prize—so don’t wander too far! (Our announcer will be making the rounds prior to the announcement in case you got distracted!)


🧺 Raffle Baskets


This year, we’ll have 16 raffle baskets! A few sneak peeks include:

  • Meowitime Adventure Basket – featuring 4 boarding passes for the Sea Blaster cruises in Destin.

  • Fur-ocious Food Truck Foodie Basket – packed with $140+ in Emerald Coast food truck gift certificates.

  • Feline Fancy - featuring a gorgeous Davie 18k Gold Vermeil Pendant Necklace donated by Kendra Scott Pensacola.


Here’s how raffle tickets work:


  • Tickets can only be earned through cash or supply donations made at the event.

  • Winners will be announced at 7 PM. If you can’t stay until then, no worries—you can write your name and phone number on your tickets. We’ll contact you if you win!

  • Important: Previous online donations do not count toward raffle tickets.


So, how can you get raffle tickets? There are two ways: monetary and supply donations!


💵 Monetary Donations → Raffle Tickets


Every dollar you give makes a direct difference for the cats at SOCKS. From covering emergency vet bills to making sure kittens get the care they need during busy seasons, your generosity is what keeps this rescue going strong. Since we want to celebrate your kindness, every cash donation you make at the event will also earn you raffle tickets toward some incredible prizes.


Chelsey will be stationed at the back of the beer garden, handling monetary donations (cash or card through a safe portal). For every $2, you’ll earn raffle tickets—with bonuses the more you give!


  • $2 = 1 ticket

  • $10 = 5 tickets + 1 bonus (6 total)

  • $20 = 10 tickets + 3 bonus (13 total)

  • $50 = 25 tickets + 9 bonus (34 total)

  • $100 = 50 tickets + 20 bonus (70 total)


Our goal is to raise $3000 in monetary donations throughout the month of September, and this is our big event to make it happen!


📦 Supply Donations → Raffle Tickets


Supply donations are just as powerful as cash! Every bag of litter, can of food, and roll of paper towels helps SOCKS stretch its resources and focus on what matters most: caring for the hundreds of cats and kittens that come through their doors each year.


Our amazing volunteer, Tracy, will be right beside Chelsey to collect supply donations and hand out raffle tickets in exchange. Here’s how items add up:


Top Priority Needs:

  • Clumping Cat Litter → 8 tickets per bag

  • Dry Cat or Kitten Food (Purina preferred) → 12 tickets per bag

  • Canned Cat or Kitten Food (NO seafood) → 1 ticket per can

  • Low-Sodium Chicken Broth → 1 ticket per carton


Other Helpful Supplies:

  • Paper Towels → 1 ticket per roll

  • Paper Plates/Bowls → 2 tickets per pack

  • 13-Gallon Garbage Bags → 4 tickets per box

  • Bleach → 3 tickets per bottle

  • OdoBan → 6 tickets per bottle

  • Simple Green (or refills) → 5 tickets per bottle

  • Clorox Wipes → 3 tickets per tub

  • Laundry Detergent Pods → 8 tickets per bag

  • Dawn Dish Soap → 3 tickets per bottle

  • Dishwasher Detergent → 5 tickets

  • Towels → 1 ticket each

  • Small Blankets → 2 tickets each

  • Unscented Hand Soap → 2 tickets each

Our goal is to gather $1000 worth of supplies at the event!
