Pets Alive Fur Ball Gala Fundraiser

Enjoy an unforgettable elegant evening full of surprises to benefit the animals with signature cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dinner, dancing, fabulous auctions and a very special awards presentation.

Thank you to Sidewalk Angels, Marisol & Rob Thomas who will join us at the Fur Ball, and Rob will perform a very special acoustic set.

Platinum Sponsor Churchills of Mount Kisco.

One hundred percent of the Proceeds from the event will benefit Pets Alive. Pets Alive is one of the oldest and largest no kill organizations in the United States. Each year, Pets Alive saves over 2,000 animals.

Pets Alive Westchester (formerly the failing Elmsford Shelter) is the largest no kill rescue center in Westchester County, and is on a rescue mission to save all 550 animals in its care. Pets Alive Animal Sanctuary is located on 80 acres in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains and has been the last resort for many animals for 30 years.  In late 2011 Pets Alive Puerto Rico will open a sanctuary, with a rescue retreat bed and breakfast, to help the abused and abandoned animals along the beaches and promote humane education within the community.

Pets Alive is internationally recognized as a leader in developing alliances to end the killing of and promote the humane treatment of companion animals. The mission of Pets Alive is to improve the lives of companion animals everywhere by any means possible, including rescue, adoption, advocacy, collaboration, intervention and education.
