Fur Ball - $175,000 raised!!!!!







Friday morning on 'Stuntman and the Shark' we could not believe our ears: our auction for the Humane Society raised $6,400!! Thank you so much to Dave and Wendy Smythe of DS Plumbing, and Howard Yegendorf and Associates, who EACH paid $3,200 to have the 'Stuntman and the Shark' radio show broadcast at the location of their choice. The $6400 total will go a long way for Ottawa's animals.
And on Saturday, it was a gorgeous evening all around at the glamorous 80's themed Fur Ball! $175,000 raised for the Ottawa Humane Society with the help of honorary chair Mrs Laureen Harper, Minister Baird, Mayor O'Brien, Jim Watson, too many dignitaries and supporters to mention here- phew! I had a couple of small wardrobe malfunctions with a dress that would probably have fit me in the 80s, but my husband and I had a great time. Congratulations to Ashley McCormack, Rob McCulloch, Anna Silverman and of course executive director Bruce Roney! Can't wait for that spring day when the shovel goes into the ground for the new shelter!!
