Black Tie & Tails Gala

Dear Friends,
Thanks to our community’s generosity, we are thrilled to announce that our first-ever Black Tie & Tails Gala was a sell-out! There were 354 guests who each dazzled while supporting the homeless pets in our local community while raising nearly $94,000! This evening is one of the top events in the history of The Heritage Humane Society, Greater Williamsburg’s largest animal shelter.
Everyone made a difference
The spirit of collaboration made for an inspiring evening. Special thanks to Dr. Kaz at Kaz Vision and Laser Center for being the presenting sponsor for this event and to Dr. Sparkman at Noah’s Ark Veterinary Hospital for being the Fetch the Flask sponsor. Thank you to each attendee, volunteer, sponsor, donor and staff member who each worked tirelessly to make everything purr-fect. To the team at Colonial Heritage, thank you for helping to make this an exceptional event and truly an evening to remember.
Please take a few moments to enjoy the video we showed during the event and the recap video of the night.
On behalf of the entire team at The Heritage Humane Society and the pets in our care, we all send heartfelt appreciation your way!
Warmest wishes,

Kimberly Laska, CAWA
Executive Director
