Tickets, tables available now for annual SPCA of Texas fundraiser

From Staff Reports

he SPCA of Texas’s Fur Ball 2019 is set Saturday, Sept. 21 from 6:30 p.m.-midnight at the Hyatt Regency Dallas, and tickets are on sale now for the event.

Last year, tickets to the black tie event sold out early, so organizers urged everyone interested in attending to get their tickets early, available online now at FurBallDallas.com. Individual tickets are $300, and table sponsorships start at $3,000.

Fur Ball 2019 will include dinner, dancing, headline entertainment by Party Machine and live and silent auctions. This year, organizers have announced “a very special partnership” with Tito’s Vodka for Dog People that will raise money for the animals of North Texas.

Chairs for Fur Ball 2019 are John and Lana Payne, and co-chairs are Jacob and Katherine Payne. Auction chairs are Julia Howard and Sandra Fite. Amber Camper is auction co-chair and Arlene Kirkland is underwriting chair.

NBC 5 News Anchor Brian Curtis will emcee.

“Fur Ball is DFW’s salute to the bond between people and their pets and a celebration of the SPCA of Texas’ important mission to provide every animal with exceptional care and a loving home,” organizers said in a press release. “All money raised through Fur Ball 2019 will go directly to the SPCA of Texas to help rescue, heal and find homes for thousands of animals and help keep pets in homes, out of shelters and off the streets.”
