Talk Fusion Gives Back to Humane Society of Tampa Bay at Tuxes & Tails Event

Brandon, FL, May 28, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Despite a struggling economy, The Humane Society of Tampa Bay raised over $140,000 on Saturday, May 16th at its annual Tuxes and Tails event. Talk Fusion, in addition to designing the event program, creating the video presentation and being the Best In Show Sponsor, presented a donation check for $50,000 to the charity.

The money raised from the sold-out event will help save the lives of thousands of homeless companion animals, as well as helping feed, sterilize and vaccinate thousands of needy animals in the Tampa Bay area community.

The event included both a silent and live auction, plus a celebrity fashion show featuring many “adorable adoptables”. Models included; Bucs player Stylez G. White, former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco, County Commissioner Rose Ferlita, City Councilman John Dingfelder, Talk Fusion VP of Training & Development, Allison Roberts and Talk Fusion Founder and CEO, Bob Reina, who appeared with his adopted dog, Bindi. Bindi, named after Steve Irwin’s daughter, is a German Sheppard mix whose jaw was crushed and left front leg bitten off by an alligator. Mr. Reina saved her life by paying for her surgery and then adopting her.

Many of the adoptable animals in the show found homes that night. The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is dedicated to ending animal homelessness and providing care and comfort for companion animals in need. In 2008, it found homes for almost 5,000 animals and sterilized over 12,000.

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay is a non-profit group and relies solely on funds from donations, grants, special events and program revenue. To donate, please visit www.humanesocietytampa.org or call 813-774-4306.
