FurDance: A Charity Benefit

AAE sponsors an annual charity dance/benefit for the young and the young at heart each year. A general social event used to raise funds for a specific charity, this event gives those folks interested in the fandom and their guests a chance to have fun, socialize, stay up way too late, and all for a good cause. Furdance '99 occurred last October. Furdance '99 benefitted Therapy Pets and raised $500 to be given to them to continue their worthy work. For information on the event, follow this button:

PATRONS

We could never do all this without the support of many many people. In particular the folks listed on our Patron's Dedication, have gone above and beyond in their support of AAE, Inc and its activities.
