Black Cat Ball

Naperville Area Humane Society (NAHS) extends an invitation to the community to attend its annual Black Cat Ball gala, on Friday, October 19, 2012 at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois.


The black tie optional event will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, program and live auction beginning at 7 p.m.  A silent auction will also help raise critical funds for the Naperville Area Humane Society. Guests will enjoy a festive evening of dining and dancing, all to support our community’s homeless pets.


Tickets are $150 per person; tables of ten are $1400.  All funds raised directly benefit the animals and programs of the Naperville Area Humane Society.
