CARF Celebrates 8th Anniversary by Giving Away Presents

Our 8th anniversary was a blast! Together with our sponsors, supporters, volunteers and fellow animal lovers, we celebrated our successful rescue and rehabilitation efforts of the last eight years. Our event partners made it possible for us to give away some cool prizes to attendees. Check out if you are one of the lucky ones who won something!

At 8:00AM sharp, the first guests started to arrive at La Palmeraie. At the entrance, people could put their tickets in the raffle bowl for a chance to win prizes. Around 11:00AM, two of our youngest visitors were asked to help us pick tickets from the bowl to decide the winners. These are the winners:

Pet Photo Shoot with Nestor G. Zavarce Photography (worth NAFL 250,-)
Lucky winner: Shirley Sprock
The photo shoot will last for an hour where Nestor will capture your pet’s personality, ensuring their true character shines through so you have a memento to cherish forever! The photo shoot can be at any location (1) on Curaçao; at your home, on the beach, etc. and can include just your pet, or you and your pet together. The day, time and location of the photo shoot can be mutually agreed upon. You will receive 10 edited images of your pet in high resolution.
