Annual PAWS Fur Ball, October 4, 2008


Centre County PAWS Fur Ball  will be held on October 4, 2008 to help local dogs, cats and pet owners!


Centre County PAWS is working to help both pet owners and animals who are facing challenges by holding a series of fundraisers throughout the year.  One of PAWS’ most successful ways of raising funds for these efforts is  the annual Fur Ball.  This year, the Fur Ball will be on Saturday, October 4, at Centre Hills Country Club.

The event will include cocktails from 6:30 to 7:30, followed by dinner, an auction and dancing.  The live auction will feature exciting vacations like trips to Ecuador and Key West, and items ranging from a Persian rug, to jewelry, and art.  Local Veterinarian, Fred Metzger, will serve as auctioneer and live music will be provided by keena.  PAWS is involving business and community leaders as sponsors, participants, and donors.  Initial sponsors include:  Metzger’s Animal Hospital and Designer’s Denn.  Last year the Fur Ball raised almost $50,000.  This money supported crucial PAWS programs, providing food, shelter, and care to animals in need.


This year, PAWS needs your help to continue its good work.  Tickets for the Fur Ball are $125.00 per person.   If you would like to help in other ways, please consider donating an item to the auction or raffle, or become a sponsor.   For information on Fur Ball tickets, sponsorships, or donor opportunities, please contact Linette Courtney at lxc2@psu.edu or 814-880-4825.
