Join us on Friday, March 13th, for the 29th Annual Fur Ball at the 2300 Arena.
An unforgettable night celebrating compassion, community, and the lifesaving work of Morris Animal Refuge with moments of magic woven throughout the evening.
An Evening with a Twist!
Throughout the evening, guests will experience close-up magic that happens right before their eyes. Award-winning illusionist Shimshi is known for intimate, impossible moments that feel personal, surprising, and completely unexplainable. Whether encountered table-side or during a featured performance, his magic has a way of stopping time and pulling everyone a little closer into the moment.
For 150 years, Morris Animal Refuge has been a safe haven for Philadelphia’s homeless and abandoned pets. The Fur Ball is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and your support ensures we can continue this essential work.
This year’s event brings together everything our supporters love:
Heart-melting moments with adoptable puppies and kittens
Delicious food and drinks by 12th Street Catering
A lively dance floor
A curated silent auction
Entertainment throughout the evening
And the joy of making a real difference for animals in need
