LoveBash for Animals 2025
April 5 - April 30
Thank You for Making LoveBash for Animals 2025 Unforgettable!
As we reflect on the joy, generosity, and compassion shared on Saturday, April 5, we are filled with gratitude. LoveBash for Animals, presented by The Lola Ruth Giving Fund, was a night to remember—full of heart, hope, and lifesaving impact.
Because of you, we raised vital funds that directly support the Potter League’s mission to provide shelter, veterinary care, and second chances to animals—and the people who love them. From the excitement of the auctions and games to the laughter, hugs, and puppy-breath kisses, every moment was filled with purpose.
We’re deeply grateful to the sponsors who helped bring LoveBash to life. A special thank-you to our presenting sponsor, The Lola Ruth Giving Fund, and its generous founder, Patrick Barry Nolan. Patrick, your passion and commitment are truly inspiring, and your support helps make this important work possible every day.
We’re also grateful to our Guardian Angel Sponsor, Tito’s Handmade Vodka (Vodka for Dog People), and our Best Friend Sponsors—BankNewport, Wag Nation, and Aspects, Inc. Your continued support fuels not only events like this but the essential programs they make possible.
To our Animal Lover Sponsors—A1 Roofing, Coldwell Banker Realty’s Noelle Shiland, Beacon Foundation, The Haven Collection, Rumford Pet Express, Rob Levine Law, The Soby Roberts Team, and Jack & Kelly Murphy—your compassion continues to make a lasting difference.
And to our Community Humane Heroes—Southcoast Health, BankRI, Portsmouth Veterinary Clinic, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Moriarty’s Fence Co., BankNewport, and Pranzi Tents & Events—thank you for standing with us in support of animals and their people.
A heartfelt thank-you to our fabulous emcee, Kim Kalunian of WPRI 12, whose charm and love for animals helped bring the evening to life, and to our incredible auctioneer, JJ Silvia, for keeping the energy high and the paddles raised!
To our in-kind partners—JDI Productions, Pranzi Tents & Events, Wild Season Florals, What’s Up Newp, and Photography by Jessica Pohl—thank you for helping to make the evening seamless, stunning, and truly special.
And to everyone who attended, donated, bid, volunteered, or simply cheered us on—thank you. Your kindness and compassion ripple far beyond the ballroom, changing lives every single day.
