Dear Friends, We hit the JACKPOT Saturday night! The entertainment. The mystery. The intrigue. From the gaming tables to our secret spy surprises, our 21st Annual Fur Ball Gala: 007 CATSino Royale turned out to be a lucky event for everyone, especially our animals. We adopted out 10 dogs and 5 cats that attended the Fur Ball! We appreciate you all. Because of your generosity and compassion, the SPCA Cincinnati has raised $488,900 to save more animals' lives, surpassing last year's total! ALL the money raised here stays here. We are an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit and are not affiliated with any national animal organization. We want to convey our sincerest appreciation for our loyal sponsors, dedicated board members, Fur Ball committee, volunteers, staff, and YOU. Thank you all for the love and time you put into our cause. Huge thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, IAMS™, and our Platinum Sponsors: The Alpaugh Family Foundation, Enerfab, and Swiffer for making this year's Fur Ball possible. Thanks to all our Fur Ball 2023 sponsors for helping to make Saturday's Fur Ball at the Sharonville Convention Center one of the best ever. A very special thank you goes to Prestige AV & Creative Services for ensuring that our evening was full of glamour and glitz. Thanks to our media partners, Local 12 WKRC-TV, 103.5 WGRR, and La Mega 97.7 FM for being steadfast friends and supporters of ours. And once again, Local 12's Adam Clements absolutely nailed his role of Master of Ceremonies. What a magical evening. We're already looking forward to next year! Which reminds me, please mark your calendars...
