Fallston, MD (March 28, 2018) – Gather your friends, family and co-workers, put on your dancing shoes, and let your hair down because the largest party for homeless and neglected animals is back to raise funds for the care and comfort of about 3,500 homeless animals that enter The Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC) each year. Now in its 14th year, the Bow Wow Boogie will take place on Friday, May 4, 2018 from 7:30-11:30pm at the Richlin Ballroom in Edgewood, MD. The “Boogie” is brought to you by Tito’s Vodka – the Vodka for Dog People!
Tickets are $55 per person or $500 for a table of ten and include an all-you-can-eat buffet; oysters shucked while you wait; ice cream sundae dessert bar; draft beer, wine, and sodas with cash bar for mixed drinks; silent auction with fun-filled baskets; raffle for two enormous wheelbarrows of cheer; Big 6 Money Wheel; raffle for an all-inclusive tropical vacation to Cozumel, Mexico; photo booth; raffle for a King sized handmade barn star quilt; and much more.
Local businesses and animal lovers across the region are strongly encouraged to show their love for the animals and donate gift cards, jewelry, artwork, professional services, tickets to area attractions, and much more for the evening’s popular silent auction. Monetary donations are accepted as well. Donations are tax-deductible and net proceeds from the evening support vital programs and services including HSHC’s foster program, rescue transports, veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, and much more. Donations to the silent auction can be mailed or brought into the shelter at 2208 Connolly Road, Fallston, MD no later than Friday, April 20th.
