2012 BISSELL Blocktail Party was the Best Dog-Gone Party Yet
Nearly 800 animal lovers, and their canine companions alike, attended the 2012 BISSELL Blocktail Party at Mangiamo! on Wednesday, June 13. A total of $187,000 was raised at the event, surpassing the fundraising goal of $150,000 that was set for its seventh year. Funds from the party benefited the new BISSELL Pet Foundation, which administered the proceeds to West Michigan animal welfare organizations in the form of BISSELL Blocktail Grants, along with a $10,000 gift that was allocated to "Party Partners" earlier in the year to thank them for their good work in the community.
