Please join Symbiotic for our third annual holiday fundraiser to honor and remember the animals that have impacted our lives. For the one pet parent who’d like to honor their pet with the tree topper, our beautiful star will be available! Each light purchased will be represented by a bulb on our Tree of Love and the illumination ceremony will take place on Saturday, December 10th at the Nansemond Brewing Station in Downtown Suffolk, VA from 6-8 pm. With the lighting of each bulb, your animal's name and message will be read aloud by our volunteers. And of course for those wishing to partake in adult beverages, @nansemondbrewingstation never disappoints with their award-winning selection of locally crafted brews. We hope you’ll join us for the ceremony and enjoy hearing all about the love and happiness animals have brought to all our lives. Don’t forget to leave a message about your pet(s) to be read at the ceremony! All proceeds go directly to our crew of foster animals who so desperately need our support. The ceremony will also be streamed live on Facebook for those who cannot attend! It’s going to be a fabulous holiday celebration you won’t want to miss!!!
Story
Our mission is to foster closer relationships between companion animals and humans; showing the mutual benefit of giving and receiving love.
We believe that by teaching the next generation to be kind to all living things and by living by these principles ourselves, we will help make the world a better place for all who inhabit it. Correcting the negative direction our world is moving in has become an urgent task, and we believe it starts with teaching young ones about the humane treatment of those who have no voice. Our theory is that when you give love to an animal, the true love that you receive in return is immeasurable. In turn, an individual who receives this special kind of unconditional love carries it with them out into the world. This 'trickle-up' philosophy drives every decision we make here at Symbiotic, and our hope is to gain donors and supporters who endorse our mission and help us along the way.
