DESCRIPTION:
Harley’s Angels and Cleo the Cat raise funds for MD Anderson, Baylor and A&M's FIP Research.

For the first time ever, nontraditional “biker babes” will join forces with a cool cat named Cleo to mark the first Angel Wings and Furry Things on Sunday October 18, 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. at Rudyard’s British Pub in Houston, Texas.

Harley’s Angels – Cruzin to Cure, is a group of women motorcycle enthusiasts dedicated to promoting breast cancer awareness, research, and education. Through their fundraising efforts since 2003, they have donated over $700,000 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine’s breast cancer centers. Harley’s Angels is a Texas non-profit 501(c)3 all-volunteer organization with over 50 current members.

Cleo the Cat is Montrose’s beloved glamourpuss who is frequently seen around town at pubs, restaurants, walking the streets on a leash with her Mom and even at local music stores like Cactus Music. She also loves taking baths shown in her hit video with over 170,000 views.

Her nearly 3,000 fans on Facebook most love Cleo for her passion to help animals less fortunate than herself. Since 2008, Cleo has raised over $40,000 in monitory and food donations for animal rescue groups such as SMART Rescue, Friends of County Pets, Rescue Bank, FCAP and Friends for Life.

Both of these groups want to expand their community reach by coming together for Angel Wings and Furry Things. Cleo’s grandma is a breast cancer survivor and many Harley’s Angels members love animals. So why not join ranks and raise money for human and animal medical research alike?

Cleo has chosen to support the cutting edge research happening at The Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences for Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). FIP is a deadly coronavirus mostly infecting younger and older cats that currently has no cure.

Adding to the fun of this fundraising milestone, Texas’ own Blaggards will take the stage for an afternoon of unforgettable and energetic tunes of “Stout Irish Rock”. The band defines their style as traditional Irish music mixed with rock n’ roll, informed by everything from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley to Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath.

Individual tickets are available online for $20 or at the door for $25. For more information please visit http://theharleysangels.org/ or http://cleocleocat.com/.
