10th Annual Fur Ball

Unleash your wild side at the 10th Annual Fur Ball — A Masquerade — a night where mystery meets magic. We invite you to arrive in a stunning mask inspired by your favorite animal, heroic icon, or notorious villain, and step into an evening where every face tells a story and adds to the enchantment.

Guests will enjoy a vibrant strolling cocktail reception, a sumptuous multi‑course dinner, and an evening filled with live music, dancing, and extraordinary silent and live auctions that always spark excitement.

Each year, more than 300 passionate animal lovers come together — community leaders, business owners, corporate executives, and innovators in animal welfare — all joining “paws” to create real, meaningful change for animals in need. Together, supporters like you have helped MiAWF raise more than $1.63 million to fuel lifesaving programs across Michigan.

This is your chance to be part of something special. Join us at The Fur Ball and help make miracles happen.

Why We Host this Event

We’re driven by one mission: to stand up for the countless animals in our community who need help, hope, and a voice. Every single day, we think about them — and every year, we rally together to raise the critical funds and awareness that truly change their lives.

This event is powered by an incredible team of volunteers who work all year long so that ALL of the proceeds go directly to four outstanding animal welfare organizations on the front lines. They’re the ones rescuing, healing, and advocating — and your participation fuels their lifesaving work.

All we ask is your support. When you show up, animals get saved. It’s that simple.

Join us for an evening filled with purpose, community, and fun — because when we come together, we can do so much more. And if you’re thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, we encourage adoption. There are so many wonderful souls waiting for a second chance — even purebreds in rescue groups. After all, “Rescued is our favorite breed.”
