Whether you’d like to show off your Halloween costume or bid on wine from the comfort of your home, Willamette Humane Society has an event for you.
The animal shelter is holding its annual Bowser’s Boo Bash Oct. 23 at Willamette Heritage Center, 1313 Mill St S.E., from 6-9 p.m. The fundraiser helps support the shelter’s operations.
Tickets are $150 and include dinner, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages.
“People that come to this event are dedicated to making a real difference for pets and the people who love them. The fundraising goal is serious, but the night is so much fun. We can’t wait to see everyone in costume,” said Erin Weldon, development and community engagement director, in a prepared statement.
For the first time this year, an online silent auction will also be open to anyone who wants to bid. Items available include gift cards to local businesses, local wine, a quilt and animal-themed decor.
Bidding opened Oct. 9 and closes Oct. 23.
