DC’s Premiere Black-Tie Gala that all the Dogs are Barking
About Washington, DC – Shake out that tux and brush off your “tails”, the
Washington Humane Society’s Bark Ball returns for the 28th year on Saturday,
June 20, 2015 at the Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Avenue, NW from 6:00
pm to 10:00 pm. Guests are invited to celebrate in style at DC’s original
black-tie gala for canines and their human companions.
This year we welcome back as Master of Ceremonies,
Washington Redskins Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of Media,
Larry Michael. Co-Chairs for the event are Terri Fariello, Beth Viola, and Michael
Wascom.
The benefit kicks off with a reception, an extensive silent
auction and Bark Bar at 6:00 pm, followed by dinner, a formal program, live
auction, and dancing from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm. Leashed dogs are encouraged to
attend (no retractable leashes please).
General tickets are $250 each and tables are $2,500. Once
again, we are offering a limited number of Young Professionals tickets for
those 35 and under at just $150. Guests will enjoy a cocktail reception and
3-course meal, along with a special Bark Bar for the pups.
Tickets and tables are available online at
www.barkball.org. This event will sell out! Last year’s event brought together
500 dogs and upwards of 1,000 animal advocates, raising over $620,000 to
benefit the critical programs and services of the Washington Humane Society.
All proceeds from the event will support the more than 51,000 animals WHS
provides comfort and care to annually.
