Help Every Little Paw Bartenders' Ball event returns March 5

H.E.L.P., or Help Every Little Paw, announced the fourth annual Bartenders’ Ball is March 5 from 6-10 p.m. at the Resort Plaza Shops, 210 E. Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene.

This charity-sponsored event will help raise needed funds to support the nonprofit organization’s mission. H.E.L.P. is dedicated to the health and happiness of all pets. The group raises funds to rescue abandoned, stray or neglected pets and to provide medical attention, spay and neuter programs, socialization rehabilitation, and food to pets in need.

The Bartenders’ Ball features gourmet appetizers provided by the area’s top caterers and chefs, a sampling of cocktails from several favorite local bartenders (you get to vote for your favorite), give-aways all evening, silent auctions and live auctions, special fun entertainment, and music and live DJ provided by Ruby Frog Entertainment.

Bring pet food. For every pound of food donated, an attendee will receive a ticket for a chance to win baskets worth more than $500.

Ticket prices did not increase from 2015 and are $30 in advance and $35 at the door the night of the event. Advance tickets may be purchased from Holly and Karen at Windermere Northwest Boulevard Office, online at HelpEveryLittlePaw.org or at INB on Ironwood Drive and Tails Inn Kennel in Rathdrum. The event sold out last year, so early ticket purchases are encouraged.
