Atlanta Humane Society Celebrates Animals at the 21st Annual “No Ball At All” Patron Party on Friday April 22, 2011.
Atlanta (March 2, 2011) – For more than 20 years, Atlanta Humane Society has offered a unique event – the “No Ball At All” Patron Party – to our donors as a way of raising much needed funds for Atlanta’s oldest and largest not for profit animal welfare organization.
The No Ball At All is one of Georgia’s most elegant fundraisers, as well as Atlanta society’s favorite evening socials. To insure that the maximum amount goes to help our homeless residents, Atlanta Humane Society has created a legendary non-event by inviting patrons to donate to No Ball At All without any obligation to attend! For those who choose to mix and mingle with fellow animal lovers, an upscale patron party is still planned, just without the added cost that normally accompanies a formal ball.
The No Ball is the evolution of the typical black-tie fundraiser that most local charities offer, but with a larger percentage of the funds raised going toward Atlanta Humane Society programs. The patron party is an elegant affair, with the sophistication of a formal occasion, but without the expenses of high-end entertainment or pricey location fees.
This year the No Ball At All patron party location has been graciously donated by Pamela Ward Smart on Friday, April 22nd. The event is open to all donors who make a No Ball gift of $350.00 or more per person. The Presenting Sponsor of this year’s No Ball is The Bank of New York Mellon Wealth Management group. Once again, Knox Jewelers is donating a custom designed pin, Extreme Staffing is proving the staff, Johnny Cain has agreed to photograph the event for us and Atlanta Flower Market is providing the centerpieces.
To make a donation, please visit No Ball At All link or call Deborah Marshall at 404.974.2878.
