FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- With the glamorous theme "We're Rolling out the Red Carpet," this year's Doggie Ball on April 13 lit up the night at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. True to its name, arriving guests walked the red carpet while the photographers snapped away, later offering photos as mementos of the evening.
The cocktail hour featured a fabulous silent auction, with a prize drawing and a live auction to follow during dinner. Auctioneer Gordon Latz got the bidding going on incredible items such as an African Safari, Private Dinner and Wine Party, Ritz Carlton stay, tickets to a runway show during Fashion Week in New York City and a beautiful amethyst and diamond ring. Susan Finley, the lucky winner of the prize drawing, won 18K white gold diamond drop earrings, provided by MAYORS.
Following the auctions and dinner, Beth and Command Performance kept Doggie Ball guests on their feet and dancing the night away!
