SCOTTSDALE, AZ (October 5, 2010) - Phoenix VIP Events, X103.9 and Rockford Fosgate announce the 2nd Annual Arizona Halloween Music Festival benefiting the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA with an adoption day, sponsorship and foster care drive and raffle hosted by Eileen Proctor and comedian Tony Vicich. This free family-friendly (yes, that includes Fido) event will be held Saturday October 30th from 10am-4pm at Versus Sports Grill at the corner of 90th Street and Via Linda in Scottsdale. The festivities will continue with happy hour specials from 4-8pm and an animal-themed costume ball from 8pm-1am.

The mission of the non-profit Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA is to end the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats in our community. Founded in 1971, AAWL/SPCA operates the state’s oldest and largest no-kill shelter. AAWL/SPCA also provides adoption, resource and education programs that improve the quality of life for dogs and cats and offer support for pet guardians. AAWL/SPCA found homes for nearly 2,700 dogs and cats last year.

“We are grateful to be participating in this event to raise awareness for our efforts to save animals,” said Tina Eacret, Director of Volunteer Programs and Special Events for AAWL/SPCA. “In addition to having animals available for adoption, we will be sharing how people can get involved in our sponsorship and foster care programs.”
