The theme for RPM's Fur Ball 2019 is "It Takes a Village," which will serve as a celebration of the RPM's important mission to provide every homeless animal exceptional care and transportation to a forever, loving home. All money raised through RPM's Fur Ball 2019 will go directly to RPM to help rescue, heal, and transport thousands of animals to forever homes in communities that have a demand for adoptable pets.
Laura Hanley Carlock, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, said, "RPM is thrilled to host its 2nd Annual Fur Ball to help further our mission to save thousands of death-row dogs and cats. We hope you will join us as a Fur Ball attendee, sponsor, or donor to support our life-saving rehabilitation and transport program. On behalf of Houston's homeless animals, we would greatly appreciate your support of RPM. We invite you to join our 'Village' at what we promise to be a fun and heartwarming event."
RPM's 2019 Fur Ball Honorees, Julie and Brook Brookshire, will be presented with the inaugural Leslie L. Alexander Lifesaving Award. The Brookshires, through their extraordinary generosity and kind hearts, have been champions for not only the pets RPM saves, but animals everywhere by working with animal rescues and animal conservation nonprofits.
Julie Brookshire said, "Thank you to the Rescued Pets Movement Board of Directors, employees, fosters, donors, and volunteers for working tirelessly to enhance this wonderful organization. I am fortunate to be able to work alongside you to help the helpless and lend my voice to those that cannot speak for themselves."
RPM's 2019 Fur Ball Gala is sure to be a tail-wagging success thanks to Co-Chairs Paige Baker, Lisa Befort, Julie Brookshire, Laura Hanley Carlock, Marianne Fanning, Ann Knight, Jennifer Kososki, Nancy Pritchard, and Peggy Wallace.
