Buddies for Paws joined BONK and BaoBao at Solana Breakpoint in Abu Dhabi, closing out 2025 with one of our most energetic events of the year.

Our Breakpoint journey kicked off at the Opening Mixer with a BONK x BaoBao Charity Fashion Show. Community volunteers turned the catwalk into the dogwalk, showcasing exclusive BONK x BaoBao merchandise. The show closed with a surprise flash mob, setting the tone for the days ahead.

Over the following three days, we joined BONK on the Breakpoint stand, welcoming Buddies from across the Web3 ecosystem. Guests could play games at the stand, including Wheel of Fortune and shooting hoops, to win awesome prizes. Donations could also be made at the stand, including contributions for Buddy Keychains, which allow supporters to back our guardian animals, alongside BONK merchandise, such as blind boxes and mystery bags.

Throughout the event, we welcomed over 400 booth visitors and received more than 150 donations. Thanks to the generosity of the community and BONK’s 100 percent donation match, almost $9,700 was raised for our charity partners.
