Join Coastal Humane Society and Lincoln County Animal Shelter for a festive brunch and silent auction to benefit the animals on Sunday, Dec. 10. The event is at the Hilton Garden Inn, 5 Park St., Freeport, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Each year at the All Paws Forward Annual Gathering, shelter supporters, volunteers and animal lovers come together to celebrate the year’s successes and look forward to the year ahead.

Silent Auction features donations from local businesses that make great Christmas presents - and a little something for yourself -  including jewelry, gift sets, and gift certificates to area restaurants and shops.

Brunch is $30 per person; get tickets online at coastalhumanesociety.org/apftickets  or call 207-449-1366.
