Coming Home is the sort of fun, loving fundraiser that’s kept the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society’s cats and dogs in kibble and clover for decades – June 17 at The Country Club of Sapphire Valley. For information and tickets, call (828) 743-5769.
It’s the most joyous moment in a pet’s life. And for animal lovers, too. It’s the moment you open the front door. The moment you are coming home.
You may have been gone on a long vacation or important business trip. Or just for a day at the office. Perhaps a round of golf. Maybe even just a walk down to the mailbox. To your pet, it doesn’t matter where you went or how long you were gone. What matters is that you have come home.
For more than a decade, we held our annual fundraiser for the CHHS shelter pets at the beautiful Country Club of Sapphire Valley. But we haven’t had our event there since before the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, for the first time in five years, we are “coming home” to a very special place that hosted some of the most memorable and successful fundraisers in our history.
Coming Home, the 2024 gala for the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society, is Monday, June 17, at 5:00 P.M. at The Country Club of Sapphire Valley. The evening will feature a live and silent auction combined with a magnificent dinner and beer, wine and spirits. Live auction items include an unforgettable one-week vacation in Sea Island, Georgia including tickets to the RSM Golf Classic, private dinner parties, an exclusive luncheon for 12 at the majestic Rockwood Lodge, a once-in-a-lifetime falconry experience, and the opportunity to feature your pet on the side of our newly-donated animal transport vehicle.
Coming Home is limited to just 200 guests. Tickets are $225 per person and tables of 10 can be reserved for $2,250. A portion of the ticket/table purchase is a generous, tax-deductible contribution to support our lifesaving mission of rescue, spay/neuter and adoption, and community outreach programs such as humane education, summer camps, rabies vaccination clinics, pet therapy and a free food pet pantry.
A fundraiser for the CHHS shelter pets is always the “must-attend” party for party animals on the plateau and always sells out quickly. You can reserve your seats today by calling (828) 743-5769.
Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization located at 200 Gable Drive in Sapphire, 1 ½ miles east of the Cashiers Ingles in between Cedar Creek Club and Lonesome Valley on Highway 64. Visit us online at chhumanesociety.org. Tax-deductible donations to support our lifesaving work can be mailed to: CHHS, P.O. Box 638, Cashiers, NC 28717.
Gala for the CHHS Shelter Pets at Country Club of Sapphire Valley
If every dog has its day, well, it turns out that every local dog (and cat) has its own glorious party.
