Pours for PAWS Brings Compassion to Old City Philadelphia
The third annual Pours for PAWS is set to take over Old City on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, returning to the elegant Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti for an evening of spirited giving, gourmet bites, and community celebration. Organized by the Young Friends of PAWS, this highly anticipated benefit event raises critical funds for the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)—the city’s largest animal rescue partner and affordable veterinary care provider.
Since its debut in 2023, Pours for PAWS has raised over $40,000 to support at-risk pets and the families who love them. Now entering its third year, this signature summer soiree promises to be the most impactful—and enjoyable—yet.

From 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, guests will enjoy a premium, three-hour open bar featuring beer, wine, and custom cocktails provided by top-tier sponsors like Aperol, Tito’s, Patron, Peroni, Wild Turkey, and Dock Street Brewing.

As guests mingle inside Positano Coast’s sophisticated second-floor space at 212 Walnut Street, they’ll also have access to an expansive silent auction, showcasing exclusive items and experiences donated by generous partners across the Philadelphia region. Every bid helps fund PAWS’ mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Philadelphia’s most vulnerable pets.

Pours for PAWS: Powered by Passionate Partnerships
Hosted again at Positano Coast—an Old City gem with a two-decade legacy of philanthropy—Pours for PAWS reflects the strength of collaboration between local businesses and compassionate citizens. Rosita Lamberti, Director of Restaurants for the Aldo Lamberti Family of Restaurants, expressed her pride in supporting the event: “Animal welfare is a cause near and dear to my heart. It brings us joy to support such an important organization alongside the Young Friends of PAWS.”
Young Friends of PAWS, founded in 2022, is a dynamic community of Philadelphians ages 21–40(ish), united by a passion for animals and a commitment to making Philadelphia a no-kill city. “Thanks to the generosity of Positano Coast and our sponsors, we can’t wait to welcome animal lovers from across the region for a fun and meaningful night,” said Gina Salvatore, co-chair of the group. “Here’s to making the 2025 Pours for PAWS our biggest event yet!”
Pours for PAWS: Supporting Lifesaving Work

By attending Pours for PAWS, guests directly contribute to these efforts—helping fragile kittens, injured strays, and senior animals find loving homes, and enabling pet owners in crisis to keep their cherished companions.
