NEWS RELEASE
GEORGIAN TRIANGLE HUMANE SOCIETY
*************************
The Georgian Triangle Humane Society (GTHS) is thrilled to announce the return of the Furball Soirée, taking place on Sept. 9 at Georgian Peaks Ski Club.

This marquis GTHS event promises an extraordinary evening of dinner, dancing, and impact for the GTHS.

All proceeds raised from the Furball Soirée will go directly to supporting day-to-day GTHS programs and services that prioritize community wellness by keeping pets together with the people who love them.

“The GTHS helps to keep more than 3,000 pets out of the shelter system each year through our numerous programs and services designed to keep pets with their families, including during emergencies and crisis,” explains Sonya Reichel, GTHS executive director.

“We believe that people help pets and pets, ultimately, help people. Animals help us connect to humanity and improve our physical, mental, and emotional health. That is why all programs at the GTHS embrace the essential element of human and animal wellness, which is enhanced through the human-animal bond. Supporting the Furball Soirée will ensure the GTHS has the critical funding needed to maintain programs that advance the overall health and wellness of pets and people of South Georgian Bay.”

Event details:

  • Date: Sept. 9, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
  • Location: Georgian Peaks Ski Club (104 Wensley St., Thornbury, Ont.)
  • Tickets: • $250 per person; $100 charitable receipt. • $2,500 for Table of 10; $1,000 charitable receipt.

“I’m thrilled to support the GTHS, which delivers innovative programs and compassionate services to enhance the lives of pets in need and the people who care for them, said sponsor Paul Chapman, wealth advisor of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. "This non-profit is an instrumental part of our community – not only for the support it provides to our beloved animals, but for many in the community who also need those animals to support their mental health and overall well-being.”
