San Francisco, Feb 22 2012: Tickets are now available for the 16th Annual Bark & Whine Ball, San Francisco’s premier event for dog lovers and their furry companions. Presented by Critter Lovers at Work (CLAW), an all-volunteer support group of the San Francisco SPCA, the 2012 Bark & Whine Ball promises to be a spectacular evening filled with dancing, dining, and, of course, the city’s top dogs. The 2012 Bark & Whine Ball will take place Thursday, March 22, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. at the Festival Pavilion at the Fort Mason Center, Festival Pavilion in San Francisco.
“Dress yourself and your furry friend in your finest and join us for a fairy tale evening,” invites Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, co-president of the SF SPCA. “Your contributions will help homeless animals in need of urgent and extraordinary medical care get the treatment they need."
All members of the public are encouraged to attend with their well-behaved “best friends.” Last year’s Bark & Whine Ball drew more than 500 guests and 200 dogs, and this year the SF SPCA expects a record turnout. All proceeds from the Bark & Whine Ball benefit the SF SPCA’s Cinderella Fund, which helps pay for the medical needs of the most severely affected animals under the care of the SF SPCA.
CLAW was founded in 1987 to generate support for and raise awareness of the SF SPCA. CLAW produces a variety of fundraising events that benefit the Cinderella Fund and to date has raised over $1.1M for the Fund.
