Dearborn Animal Shelter ‘Black Tie & Tails’

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

In 2010, the Dearborn Animal Shelter celebrates the 10th Diamond Anniversary of Black Tie & Tails. We invite you to help our rescues sparkle & shine at their brilliant best. The event takes place on Friday, October 22, 2010 from 7 p.m. to Midnight at the The Dearborn Inn.

Presented byMary Ann Wright & Bob Sayles, the gala’s Honorary Co-chairs include:

Congressman John Dingell & Mrs. Debbie Dingell, Detroit Lions Quarterback Drew Stanton & Mrs. Kristin Stanton, Detroit Lions Long Snapper Don Muhlbach & Mrs. Alix Muhlbach, Paws Promenade Commentator: Dan Miller, Fox 2 Sports Director.

It is a milestone year for Black Tie & Tails—one of the most anticipated and premier fundraising events for animal welfare in Southeast Michigan.

Since its inception Black Tie has raised over $760,000, which has directly benefited 20,000 rescues. All proceeds from this “elegant evening for four-footed friends” enable us to provide innovative and quality care for the thousands of homeless animals who find refuge at our Shelter each year. The funds also support the Friends’ many community initiatives, such as Operation Feed Fido, a subsidy program for pet parents to ensure that animals remain in their homes.

The gala evening “facets” include:

• Sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, eclectic entrees, and delectable desserts all prepared by the renowned chefs of the Dearborn Inn—and, of course, flowing champagne and cocktails.
