Event Description
The Richmond SPCA requests your support for the 17th Annual Fur Ball, which is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2015 at
the historic Jefferson Hotel. The event draws about 450 of Richmond’s most devoted animal lovers and includes a cocktail

Cinderella Fund
Funds raised through the Fur Ball benefit the Richmond SPCA’s Cinderella Fund, a pool of resources from which we draw to
treat the sick, injured, and neonatal homeless animals who come into our care each year. Annually, more than 2,800 cats, dogs,
kittens, and puppies benefit from the lifesaving care made possible by this fund.
