As our producing partner, Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP) will receive a portion of the proceeds from the event. The remainder will then be pooled into a lump sum, and during the evening’s festivities three participating non-profits will be randomly selected to split the remaining proceeds – estimated at $3,000 each!
Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. To purchase advance tickets please visit www.wncap.org/affiliates. We expect this event to sell out – order early!

ABOUT Brother Wolf Animal Rescue
Brother Wolf Animal Rescue is a non profit organization that rescues and finds homes for homeless cats and dogs, reduces pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs, promotes responsible pet guardianship and aids in the prevention of cruelty to animals.
In June of 2009, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue received its license as a shelter and opened a haven for rescued pets who through no fault of their own found themselves homeless and in harm’s way. Pet Soup is Brother Wolf’s Safe For Life Shelter that not only provides shelter and care to dogs and cats in need but also provides excellent services to the public and their animals including grooming, boarding and daycare. Since the beginning of 2009, BWAR has rescued, rehabilitated and placed into loving homes over 500 lucky cats and dogs, assisted the public with spay/neuter assistance and helped to promote the humane treatment of our companion animals throughout WNC.
