    Join the Ties and Tails Gala: A Night to Support Our Furry Friends

    Celebrate Our Furry Friends at the Ties and Tails Gala

    This October, Charlotte will once again become a hub for animal lovers as the Humane Society of Charlotte hosts its annual Ties and Tails Gala on October 18 at The Revelry North End. As a black-tie event, it promises an elegant evening filled with good food, entertainment, and a chance to contribute to a worthy cause: raising funds for our furry friends in need.

    Join the Movement to Clear the Shelters

    August is a pivotal month for animal adoptions across the U.S., and right here in Charlotte, the Clear the Shelters campaign aims to find loving homes for thousands of pets. Adoption specialist Kristopher Toussaint Reynoso emphasizes, "Every pet deserves a second chance." This aligns perfectly with the mission of the Ties and Tails Gala, where proceeds will support adoption efforts, medical care, and food for animals at the shelter.

    The Power of Community Connections

    Culturally-rich events like the Ties and Tails Gala not only bring together local residents but also cultivate a deep sense of community. Meg Doherty, the marketing manager for the Humane Society, notes that this fundraising night is not just about the money; it’s about uniting people who care about animals and supporting the mission of providing homes for the many pets in need. This type of community engagement is critical at a time when shelters are overwhelmed, and every little bit of support counts.

    What to Expect at the Gala

    The Ties and Tails Gala is not just a fundraiser; it's a celebration of the bond between humans and their pets. With gourmet food, live music, auctions, and heartwarming stories shared from the Humane Society, attendees will not only enjoy a fantastic evening but also learn how their contributions directly impact lives. It's a perfect opportunity for residents to don their finest attire while helping to make a difference.

    Get Involved and Make a Difference

    Whether you're attending the Ties and Tails Gala or participating in Clear the Shelters, this is an ideal time to get involved. Adoption, volunteering, and attending community events are just some of the ways individuals can support local efforts. With the upcoming gala, consider how you might contribute—perhaps by purchasing a ticket, donating to the cause, or even adopting a furry friend.

    Explore the Pink Maze and Support Breast Cancer Awareness in Charlotte

    Update Join the Fun for a Cause: Breast Cancer Shucks in Charlotte Get ready, Charlotte! Mark your calendars for October 25, 2025, as Historic Rural Hill transforms into a vibrant pink corn maze during the inaugural Breast Cancer Shucks event, celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A Night Packed with Activities In addition to navigating the pink labyrinth, attendees can enjoy live music from The Chain, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, tantalizing eats from local food trucks, and a crafted “Pink Brew” by Eleven Lakes Brewing. The iconic corn maze will be beautifully lit in pink, adding an enchanting touch to the evening. Community Support and Significance Kristen Hampton and Mellisa Wheeler, the co-founders of the event, communicate a message of hope and unity: “Every step through the maze helps shine a light—literally and figuratively—in the fight against breast cancer.” This disease affects one in eight women and even some men, making community support essential. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Go Jen Go Foundation, an organization that provides support to families facing financial challenges due to breast cancer.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own flashlights and headlamps to illuminate their path as they explore the maze. As Wheeler encouragingly stated, “Let’s bring together family, friends, and community to raise awareness, resources, and spirits on a night filled with light, laughter, music, memories, and more.” The Impact of the Go Jen Go Foundation The Go Jen Go Foundation is committed to providing critical financial support to more than 105 families each month in the Charlotte area.
