Sweet 16
Celebrating 16 Years of New Beginnings Benefiting our Community's Homeless Cats and Kittens
New Beginnings Animal Rescue (NBAR), the non‑profit, volunteer‑run rescue in Royal Oak, is popping the confetti and frosting the cake to celebrate 16 sweet years of helping homeless cats and kittens find fresh starts and forever homes.
This year, we’re aiming high with a goal to raise $30,000 at our signature Birthday Bash—a candy‑coated Sweet 16 celebration bursting with fun. Supporters from all over the community will gather for a night that’s sweeter than cotton candy, featuring fantastic raffle prizes, dazzling candy‑inspired décor, delightful bites, and feel‑good music all to support the cats in our care. Known as the cat’s meow of celebrations, the Birthday Bash sells out every year, and this year’s sugary‑sweet theme promises sprinkles of joy, a whole lot of sparkle, and memories as delightful as your favorite candy treat.
Your tax-deductible sponsorship and/or donation is used wisely with us – 100% of donations go directly to the cats, ensuring they receive the care they need and keeping our Adoption Center running smoothly. We’re a volunteer-run rescue with no paid staff, so every dollar is spent in the most positive way possible to make an impact. Sponsoring this event is not just a win for the kitties, but also for your business – thousands of NBAR supporters will see you as a superstar in animal welfare and a true community champion.
