The Whatcom Humane Society’s 2022 Gala and Auction

Celebrating 120 Years of Animal Rescue!

We request the pleasure of your company at our Gala and Auction on Saturday, October 29th, 2022 at 5:30pm. The Gala will be happening at the Hotel Leo, located at 1224 Cornwall Ave in Bellingham, WA. Tickets are $120 per person and $900 per table of 8. Tickets can be purchased below or by calling (360) 733-2080 ext 3002 and must be purchased by October 16th. Evening attire requested.

Join the fun and raise your hearts and hands for animals big and small! This inspiring evening will be filled with fine dining, beer, wine, and spirits, raffles, a silent and live auction, plus our popular dessert dash.

The meal options are a mushroom ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce (vegetarian) and a rice and vegetable stuffed seasonal squash (vegan, gluten free). Additionally, there will be a tomato basil soup and a mixed greens salad with blueberries, hazelnuts, and golden balsamic vinaigrette. Before dinner, there will also be appetizers, champagne, and a no host bar.

Since 1902, the Whatcom Humane Society has been caring for homeless, unwanted, and abused animals in our community. We are incredibly proud to be celebrating 120 years of work to create a compassionate and humane world for domestic, wild and farm animals in need and our Gala & Auction is our largest annual fundraising event. Proceeds from this special evening are critical in supporting the daily operations at our domestic animal shelter, farm facility, and wildlife rehabilitation center.
