FAQS
What is the Fall Benefit?
The annual Fall Benefit Celebrity & Pet Fashion Show and Silent Auction is Pet Haven’s premier fundraising event. This year, more than 200+ animal lovers will gather to bid on 100+ amazing silent auction items in support of the animals in our care. Guests enjoy a gourmet dinner, and find delight in a celebrity and pet fashion show, hosted by Staci Matthews of the Moon and Staci show.
The Fall Benefit is truly Pet Haven’s most important fundraising event. Last year we sold out, and raised over $13,000. This year our goal is to raise $20,000. All funds raised from the event go directly to providing food, shelter, and veterinary care for the hundreds of animals we take in each year. It also supports our humane education programs and spay/neuter grants.
