Kimberly Maus, Fox 12

Kimberly Maus will emcee the event!

Ms. Maus co-anchors "Good Day Oregon" from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. weekdays on FOX 12, and anchors "More Good Day Oregon" from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on KPDX.

She is a compelling speaker, and a powerful advocate for rescue animals in the Portland area.


The gambling portion of this event is being managed by Wild Bill's (who's that?), a premiere party planning organization. Besides gaming (blackjack, roulette and craps), there will be lots of prizes, appetizers, music, and a no-host bar. With each ticket purchase you receive $10 in gaming scrip (what's scrip?) and one raffle ticket at the door. This will be an evening of fun and excitement!

Don't know how to play poker, craps or roulette? Don't worry, Wild Bill's staff is wonderful at teaching and coaching you to make the best gaming decisions, all while providing an exciting and fun atmosphere.

We will have no-host bar with donated Widmer beer – proceeds to benefit Animal Aid! The caterer will have no-host wine and assorted soft drinks as well. The lucious appetizers and dessert offerings are being provided by De Angelo’s Catering, Cupcake Jones and Baker and Spice. 'Nuff said!

Sounds Fun, But Just Exactly How Will This Help the Animals?

Business and private sponsorships of gaming tables, prizes, refreshments will allow us to direct the proceeds from ticket and scrip sales to where it is needed most – the animals and their environment at our facility.

But that doesn't mean that you won't win anything – far from it! Thanks to our generous sponsors, no matter what kind of luck you have at the gaming tables you can win something fabulous!
