Ridgite is Running Marathon to Help Cat Rescue

On Sunday, November 6th, Christine will be running the NYC Marathon. She is raising money for Itty Bitty Kitty, which is so sweet because George, the founder of Itty Bitty Kitty passed away this year.

Christine has a raffle with prizes from some of local merchants including: Bohemian Rose Hair Salon, Harbor Fitness, My Natural Pet and Harde’s Wines and Liquors.
Raffles are 5.00 each and can be purchased here. You must live in Bay Ridge to purchase so Christine can deliver the prize to you if you win.
