2023 Mutts and Martinis

It was time for mans (and woman’s) best friend to come out and strut their stuff along the ‘doggie runway’. There were hoots, hollers and maybe some howling for those the audience was impressed by, but really, each pet there was a winner!  Their people love them dearly…

The annual fundraiser is put on by the YMCA at the Esplanade. This year’s event was sponsored by Marco Island Furniture and Mattress, the Oaktide Group at Morgan Stanley and Joe Contarino with ReMax Affinity Group.  

Besides the dogs, there was a silent auction, 50/50 and basket raffle.  There was also a donation drive for Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue.  All proceeds will benefit the YMCA of Collier County Youth Development programs including early learning, afterschool, and summer camps.
