Fifth annual Jazz Cat Ball set for Feb. 5

The Greater Birmingham Humane Society’s largest annual fundraiser is returning in February.

The fifth annual Jazz Cat Ball is set for Feb. 5 from 6 to 11:30 p.m. at the Cahaba Grand Conference Center. 

The night includes a seated dinner, live music from The Party Crashers, casino games and live and silent auctions. The live and silent auctions include getaway trips, sports memorabilia, jewelry, art and home goods from local and nationally recognized designers.

 “We love the Jazz Cat Ball because we are able to raise amazing amounts of money for the GBHS while enjoying a totally fun Mardi Gras celebration,” said Allison Black Cornelius, CEO and president for the humane society. 

Proceeds from the Jazz Cat Ball help provide health care, shelter, food and socialization for homeless, abused and neglected animals, in addition to the humane society’s externship program for fourth-year veterinary students from Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

In previous years, the Jazz Cat Ball has had more than 900 attendees and sold out. Tickets for the event are $125, and there are options for tables and multiple sponsorship levels available online at gbhs.org/events/2016-jazz-cat-ball/.
