To all Wild Ball volunteers, guests, and donors: Thank you so much!
Together we raised over $65,000 for wildlife!
The funds you helped raise are already being put to good use. In the days following the event, more bandages were ordered for an injured Snowy Owl, blood work from a Red Fox was sent to a lab for testing, several birds were anaesthetized and x-rayed, new enclosures have been purchased, all wild animals in care were given nutritious food, and so much more.
The Wild Ball: What A Night!
On Thursday, November 13th, The Fermenting Cellar was a sea of smiling faces and silly animal ears!! Hundreds of people came together for a night of fiery swirling sizzling entertainment, delicious food, tasty drinks, and amazing auction items. The energy in the room was palpable as people from many different walks of life came together to raise critically needed funds for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
Whether it was dancing with a 5ft squirrel, getting a caricature done, perusing the auction, chatting with a chef, participating in the live auction, watching LaRouge Entertainment's brave fire dancer, incredible aerial trapeze act, awesome live music, daring magician, and red hot dancing trio, or just gettin' another free drink, there was lots of fun stuff to keep guests entertained at The Wild Ball!
Spread throughout the room were four incredible food stations provided by The Sutton Place Hotel, Chef Jono, Chef for all seasons, and Pair of Pears serving up delicious savoury appetizers. These were followed by tasty fair trade coffee from Merchants of Green Coffee, and sweet treats from Cob's Bread, All the Best, sweets from the earth, Edible Arrangements, and Just Add Sugar.
Those wildlife themed martinis were a hit once again - who wouldn't love a Chocolate Chipmunk?! The wine was delicious thanks to an anonymous donor, and beer also went over very well thanks to Mill St. Brewery and Cameron's Brewing Company. The raw, industrial feel of the Fermenting Cellar warmed up with magenta lighting provided the perfect backdrop for this night of laughter and excitement to benefit wild animals affected by urbanization and human activities.
Thank you very much to everyone who supported, attended, or volunteered at The Wild Ball. Hardworking volunteers went above and beyond to pull this event together, donors provided incredible items and funds needed to make this event possible, and guests made this Wild Ball yet another terrific success for both people and wildlife.
