FAQS
What is the Fall Benefit?
The annual Fall Benefit is Pet Haven Inc. of Minnesota’s premier fundraising event. Guests enjoy dinner, a raffle and silent auction as well as a local 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 $20,000. This year, our goal is to raise even more! 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.
What do I wear to Fall Benefit?
Business casual attire is required while evening attire is optional and encouraged.
When do tickets go on sale?
Tickets for this year’s Fall Benefit will go on sale June 1, 2009.
Should I purchase tickets before the event?
Definitely! We have sold out, in advance, two years in a row so we cannot guarantee that tickets will be available onsite.
Can I bring my animal?
While any event is made more enjoyable by the presence of our beloved pets, we ask that you leave your own companion animals at home for this particular evening in order to allow the wonderful Pet Haven adoptable animals to shine.
Who should I notify regarding my food allergies?
Please send an email to fallbenefit@pethavenmn.org in advance regarding any food allergies.
