The Fur Ball is an elegant, pet-friendly gala that invites animal lovers, their furry friends, and community leaders to come together for an evening of music, entertainment, and charitable giving. Set to take place on August 10th at the Rice Theater, the Fur Ball will feature live music, silent auctions, and a pet costume parade. Attendees can look forward to mingling with fellow dog enthusiasts, bidding on unique items, and enjoying various pet-themed activities.

We are pleased to inform you that donations made to the Crowley Furball event are tax-deductible. The event is organized by the Crowley Community Development Association, a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your generous contributions will support our mission and can be deducted from your taxable income, providing you with potential tax benefits. Thank you for your support and commitment to our cause.

The evening will have a silent auction, featuring an array of enticing items donated by local businesses and generous individuals. From exclusive sports tickets, and fine dining experiences to custom pet portraits and luxury pet accessories, there will be something for everyone. Additionally, the event will showcase a pet costume parade, where dogs of all sizes will strut their stuff in creative and adorable outfits mimicking famous celebrities, much to the delight of the attendees. The audience will then have the power to vote for their favorite "celebrity" through donations.

Proceeds from the Fur Ball will be allocated towards the construction of a new dog park, a project that has been eagerly anticipated by local dog owners. The planned dog park will be a state-of-the-art facility featuring separate areas for small and large dogs, agility equipment, shaded seating for pet owners, and water stations. It will provide a safe, clean, and fun environment for dogs to exercise, socialize, and play off-leash, addressing a significant need in our growing community.

The establishment of this dog park is expected to have a positive ripple effect throughout the city. Not only will it provide a much-needed recreational space for dogs, but it will also foster community spirit among pet owners. It’s an opportunity for citizens to connect, share tips on pet care, and build a supportive network. Moreover, a well-designed dog park can contribute to the overall attractiveness of our city. While still in development, the phased master plan will also include a state-of-the-art animal shelter that will improve the quality of life for our rescue animals.

Tickets for the Fur Ball go on sale next week. Those unable to attend can still contribute by making donations directly to the Furball court contestants through the soon to be launched Furball Crowley website. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making the new dog park a reality.
