This event, HSSV's premier fundraiser, supports the organization's critical work in animal welfare, offering an evening of celebration under the stars where attendees can bring their dogs.

Alongside her husband George, the Marcus family has been instrumental in the construction of the Peter Detkin and Michelle Oates Detkin Animal Community Center and recently donated $2 million to enhance medical care for animals and improve access to veterinary services in the community.
HSSV President Kurt Krukenberg praised Judy for her unwavering support and pivotal role in the organization's growth, including its rebranding and building campaign. This year's Fur Ball marks a historic moment as HSSV honors a benefactor for the first time, recognizing Judy's profound commitment to the mission of HSSV and her foundational role in establishing the Fur Ball.
The Marcus family's generous donation aligns with HSSV's strategic goals of Saving Lives and Keeping Families Together. These initiatives focus on rescuing at-risk animals, providing essential care, and supporting pet owners in need to ensure pets stay with their families. The Fur Ball not only celebrates these achievements but also underscores the importance of community support in advancing animal welfare.
