Humane Society Celebrates Success at Black Cat Ball

Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) extends an invitation to the community to attend its annual Black Cat Ball gala, on Friday, October 15, 2010 at Hotel Arista in Naperville, Illinois.

The black tie optional event will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, program and live auction beginning at 7 p.m.  A silent auction will also help raise critical funds for the Naperville Area Humane Society. Guests will enjoy a festive evening of dining and dancing, all to support our community's homeless pets. Weather permitting, adoptable dogs from NAHS will greet guests as they arrive at the Arista Pavilion.

Tickets are $150 per person; tables of ten are $1,200. All funds raised directly benefit the animals and programs of the Naperville Area Humane Society. 

PETCO Foundation is the Presenting Sponsor of this years' event.  NAHS also thanks its Platinum Sponsors, Navistar and Exelon, and Bronze Sponsor Pet Supplies Plus. 

"The Black Cat Ball gets better every year," raves Black Cat Ball event co-chair Denise Turek. "Our generous sponsors make it possible for the Humane Society to put on a stellar event that will not only raise awareness about all the great things NAHS does, but will also help us to raise funds to support those programs and services that are such a benefit to our community."
