Please note that there is no admission fee for the Black Sand Beach Welcome Back Party but there is a $10EC entrance fee at De Big Fish but all proceeds will go to AAARF.  The island animals thank you for your contribution :)

A bit about our beneficiary:
The mission of Angels in Armor Animal Rescue Fund (AAARF) is to provide financial relief to those member students or faculty members of the who opt to rescue un-owned sick or injured companion animals in need of emergency or critical care. AAARF encourages Good Samaritan behavior in our community to save the lives of animals that would otherwise be euthanized and provide educational opportunities for SVM students in the clinic and the classroom.

A big thank you to our contributing organizations that are helping to make our Welcome Back Party awesome...
VBMA - burgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs
SVECCS & Feral Cat Project - Desserts
LAS - Drinks
IVSA - party games (bring your beer pong skills!)

Hope to see everyone there on Friday night!!
