HSCC’s signature event, Black Tie & Tails Benefit, will roll out the red carpet on Saturday, June 7th, 2025 at Hula. Please join us to celebrate the power of the human-animal bond while having a ball at Vermont’s most paw-some fundraiser of the year!

Attendees will enjoy a welcome beverage from Iron Wolf Wines, delectable hors-d'œuvres and signature cocktails from bevo, live music from the Patricia Julien Trio, a dance floor tuned by DJ Matthew Parillo, all while supporting our beloved animal shelter.

All funds raised will support the Humane Society’s critical community programs focused on keeping people and their pets together.

The dress code is cocktail attire, and all guests are encouraged to wear an animal-themed accent piece (leopard print tie, cat jewelry), etc. if desired! All the glam will be captured by Photobooth Planet and photojournalist James Buck with WCAX news anchor Cat Viglienzoni hosting. 

Please check out our online auction for some exciting experiences such as a one-week stay in a Costa Rica villa, a four-day stay on Lake Carmi, round-trip tickets to almost anywhere, and more! The winners will be announced during the event.

We look forward to a purrr-fect lakeside evening with you!
