Philadelphia, PA - The 3rd Annual Pours for PAWS returns to Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti in Old City Philadelphia on Wednesday, June 25th. This signature fundraiser is organized by the Young Friends of PAWS to benefit the lifesaving work of the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Hosted at Positano Coast and building on the success of the last two years’ events, Pours for PAWS will feature a three-hour open bar with beer, wine, and cocktails; delicious vegetarian and vegan food; music by DJ Byrd; a wide-ranging silent auction featuring items from generous partners across the Philadelphia region; and more.

As the city’s largest animal rescue partner and provider of affordable veterinary care, PAWS saves thousands of Philadelphia’s most vulnerable animals each year — from sick and injured stray dogs and cats to fragile kittens and senior animals who need a second chance – and enables thousands of pets to remain part of the families who love them. Animal lovers age 21 and older are invited to attend Pours for PAWS and help power PAWS’ mission to make Philadelphia a no-kill city by supporting rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, foster programs, affordable vet care, pet pantry services, and more.
 
“Young Friends of PAWS is thrilled for the return of our signature event, Pours For PAWS,” says Gina Salvatore, co-chair of Young Friends of PAWS. “Thanks to the generosity of Positano Coast and our sponsors, we can’t wait to welcome animal lovers from across the Philadelphia region for an evening of delicious food, refreshing beverages, and fun, all in the name of supporting PAWS' lifesaving mission. Here’s to making the 2025 Pours for PAWS our biggest event yet!”

"Positano Coast and the Lamberti Family are proud to support the work of PAWS," said Aldo Lamberti Family of Restaurants Director of Restaurants Rosita Lamberti. "Animal welfare is a cause near and dear to my heart. Our entire team loves bringing together the Young Friends of PAWS and the animal welfare community for this one very special night each year. It is our second year hosting this event and it brings us joy to support such an important organization."
