The Humane Society Fur Ball -$155,000 Raised!!!

The Ottawa Humane Society Furball was a fantastic success!! $155,000 raised for the animals! Congratulations to all who worked so hard to make this evening so special! Mrs Laureen Harper returned as honorary chair, with her date, Environment Minister John Baird. Kudos to chef Kurt Wadele and jazz singer Deborah Davis. The event was sold out, a great time had by all...and details were unveiled about the exciting new 'Breaking Ground' campaign! The Ottawa Humane Society is on its way to raising 9.5 million dollars to build a new state-of-the-art shelter to help the animals.
