ABE ! Fund Benefit Raises $1600 for RLRR

Over 40 guests came to Lake Forest, Illinois in June to celebrate the 14th birthday of Bramber, the Sussex spaniel, and participate in a benefit dinner for the ABE! Fund.

Most donations were in cash or Wal-Mart gift cards allowing Karen to purchase much needed supplies for Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. A number of contributions were received from friends of ABE!’s who could not attend. Financial support also came from Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Missouri and England. Additionally, 31 rope toys were donated.

Since the ABE! Fund was started in 2009 by Susan Ipsen in memory of ABE!, her beloved Clumber Spaniel, the fund has raised over $7000 for Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue !!!

Susan has also made a generous donation to allow Karen to buy all of the straw for the kennels at Rosie’s this winter. Thank you to Susan for her extraordinary efforts on behalf of the RLRR animals.

The next ABE! Fund Benefit will be in Somers, Wisconsin on September 18th.

Many, many thanks to all who contributed!!!
