SPCA Cincinnati | Events

Dear Friends,

We had an amazing night on Saturday, April 27 at our 22nd Annual Fur Ball Gala: Animal House at the Sharonville Convention Center. The evening was filled with collegiate fun and youthful nostalgia, where every guest was a pledge of our 2024 Sigma Pi Chi Alpha (SPCA) Pledge Class. It was a roaring success for everyone, especially our animals. We adopted out 11 dogs, 8 cats, and one rabbit!

Thank you, pledges. Congratulations, you have been initiated! With your help, the SPCA Cincinnati raised over $606,000 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 are very grateful for YOU, our generous sponsors and donors, committed board members, tireless Fur Ball committee, dedicated volunteers, and hardworking staff. Your support, love, and dedication to our cause is truly appreciated. Our deepest appreciation goes out to our Presenting Sponsor, IAMS™, and our Platinum Sponsors: Gorilla Glue and Swiffer for making this year's Fur Ball possible. Thanks to all our Fur Ball 2024 sponsors for helping to make this Fur Ball a night to remember!

A very special shout out to Prestige AV & Creative Services for ensuring that the party didn't stop until we dropped! 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.

Finally, we'd like to thank the hilarious David McCreary, our Master of Ceremonies who kept us smiling and engaged all evening. It was truly a night to remember.

And next year... are you feeling lucky? Because we're off to the races! Please mark your calendars for:

See you on the track!
