You’re invited to HOV’s annual Dog Ball
Heart of the Valley will present its annual Dog Ball, “The NeverEnding Tail,” on Friday, May 12th in MSU’s SUB Ballrooms at 6pm. The animal shelter’s signature event is well-heeled but never, never stuffy. After all, the Dog Ball is no ordinary dinner-auction — it’s a real Montana celebration that has taken root as one of the best parties in the Gallatin and Madison valleys combined!
You’ll feel the energy the minute you arrive. The fast-paced live auction and a selection of silent auction items will leave you begging for more. Peruse pet-friendly trips and getaways, explore Montana outdoor adventures, save on local services, and more. This year, you can bid from anywhere in the world and don’t even have to wait for the Ball. During the hosted cocktail hour, there will be plenty for to sip and nibble on as guests visit and shop the silent auction. Then it’s time for a delicious meal presented by MSU catering. After dinner, there will be dancing and plenty of time to catch up with friends old and new. Frolic into the wee hours…you deserve it!
The Dog Ball is Heart of the Valley’s single most important fundraising event of the year. All event proceeds benefit the animals at the shelter. Tickets are $150 per attendee with additional sponsorship opportunities available. For further information and to purchase, visit www.hovdogball.auction-bid.org or call (406) 388-9399 x222.
You can support Heart of the Valley by attending the gala or placing bids for the silent auction online. Either way, you are contributing the private dollars that represent nearly 80% of its annual funding. In 2007, with the help of a loving and generous community, Heart of the Valley successfully completed construction of a new shelter facility where animals can be safely and securely housed. Come celebrate a decade with Heart of the Valley at the Dog Ball — your support is more important than ever.
Ten years later, Heart of the Valley is still determined to never let the animals down! Their mission is to compassionately shelter the lost and surrendered pets of Gallatin and Madison valleys, and to enhance the lives of people and companion animals through pet adoption and education.
