Dear Friends,
Buns Day 3 was a huge success! If you attended--thank you! If you missed it, well, you missed a great event and we missed you! Buns Day is a major annual fundraising event for SaveABunny and we are well on our way to reaching our goal of $6,000. It's never too late to be a part of this special event, so if you'd still like to make a donation, we would be very grateful.
Many, many thanks to Jill Harris, co-owner of Inform Pilates and creator of Buns Day. Jill is a SaveABunny adopter and volunteer. Buns Day 3 was exquisite in all the little details and radiated Jill's love of rabbits, her professionalism and her expertise within the fitness community. THANK YOU!
Picture soft, white votive candles flickering in a spacious room elegantly decorated with tender sprays of flowers. Customized "SaveABunny.com" yoga mats of purple or blue were artfully arranged for participants to use and keep along with fresh, fruited water. The silent auction was packed with spa, health and beauty packages both sinfully decadent and yet ecologically friendly. Bargains and delights for all
We are grateful to leading Bay area fitness experts from Inform Pilates, E. A. Morgan of Strong Heart/Strong Body Personal Training, Jennifer Jeffries of the Daley Method and KK Ledford of Yoga Tree Hayes for donating their services to teach a multi-discipline "buns" focused 1.5 hour workout.
