Sarasota in Defense of Animals gets on Island Time

“There are a lot of times where an animal doesn’t have a chance of being adopted and has nowhere to go. Tonight is helping our 300 animals at the sanctuary, who can live out their lives happily.” — Russell Matthes, Daiquiri Deck owner and board member of Sarasota in Defense of Animals

More than 135 animal lovers enjoyed an evening benefiting Sarasota in Defense of Animals at the Island Time fundraiser Nov. 12, at Daiquiri Deck.

The event, which is the organization’s biggest annual fundraiser, featured a dinner, open bar and live auction.
