Pet Aesthetics Holds Benefit

On Sunday, November 11, from 8 am to 4 pm, Pet Aesthetics at 134 Main Street South in Southbury will host a Pet Groom-A-Thon and owner Susan Begasse-Marucci will donate all proceeds from  standard pet grooming services to the Luck2Tuck charitable fund. Additionally, in celebration of Pet Aesthetics’ 13th anniversary of business in Southbury, Begasse-Marucci will offer ten percent of services during the entire month of November to be donated to the Luck2Tuck fundraising campaign, in memory of the organization’s namesake, Tucker Gowen, who suffered from Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

“This is our way of giving back to a community that has been so supportive of our business,” stated Begasse-Marucci. “Tucker Gowen was only 18 when he died on October 9 from Acute Myeloid Leukemia, and the entire community is rallying to help raise funds to fight the disease through the Luck2Tuck charitable fund established at Webster Bank in Southbury. So many people want to help, so if they are not able to bring their pet in for the November 11 Pet Groom-A-Thon, they will know that ten percent of the services we provide to their pets during November will be donated directly to the Luck2Tuck fund.”

An active participant in the Southbury area community since 1999, Pet Aesthetics has helped raise more than $3,000 for the Northwest regional chapter of Special Olympics of Connecticut in 2011 and 2012 through the Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest held at Leo’s Restaurant in Southbury.
