The 5th Annual Fur Ball Raises Record Proceeds

The Fifth Annual PAWS Chicago Fur Ball drew 500 individuals and more than 100 pampered pooches to the W Chicago City Center Hotel on Saturday, November 18, 2006.

Guests entered the gala by ascending a red carpet with paparazzi snapping photos all around, which set the tone for the glamorous evening to follow. The festivities included dancing to the sounds of Michael Lerich Productions and to music spinned by a d.j. from Icon Entertainment, people and pooch buffets, specialty bars, and a doggie spa.

Presented by Bentley Gold Coast, Van Cleef & Arpels and the W Hotels of Chicago, the event raised close to $400,000 in support of PAWS Chicago’s innovative adoption, targeted spay/neuter, and community outreach programs.

Among the evening’s activities was a silent auction that featured tickets to a Carrie Underwood/Brad Paisley concert and dinner with Lisa Dent, donated by US99.5, including limousine transportation courtesy of Flair Communications.

The live auction boasted vintage Alhambra earclips and watch by Van Cleef & Arpels, a portrait sitting and print by Victor Skrebneski, a walk-on role on “24”, and a luxury European vacation including business class travel by American Airlines and accommodations at the Park Hyatt Zurich. Among raffl e prizes was a stay at the Cypress Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea and dinner at Roy’s at Pebble Beach, donated by the Ron Chez Family.

Special thanks to Co-Chairs Angie and William DeMars and Judy and Howard Tullman, and Grand Benefactors Janice and Philip Beck, Paula and Peter Fasseas, Regan and Phillip Friedmann, Angel and Paul Harvey, Noah’s Ark Pet supply, and Brent Sherman Racing.
