Pawsitively Purrfect Party

Written By: David Stroud - Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society | Issue: April 2025

After a five-year hiatus, last year the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society gala returned to The Country Club of Sapphire Valley with an appropriately-named event called “Coming Home.”

The evening was heartfelt, emotional, and most importantly, a successful fundraiser for the hundreds of animals we save and care for each year.

So it’s no surprise that we are returning once again to share an evening with our friends and supporters at this beautiful country club located less than a mile down the road from our no-kill shelter. In 2025, we are bringing back a much-beloved theme for our event, one that was known for more than a decade at CCSV called Pawsitively Purrfect Party.

Pawsitively Purrfect Party is Monday, June 16, 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 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 much, much more.

And on the evening of June 16, we are also going to make an announcement about the largest initiative ever in the 38-year history of the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society, one that will not only benefit the more than 100 animals currently at our no-kill shelter, but all animals in our community.

Pawsitively Purrfect Party 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, and a free food pet pantry.

Tickets can be purchased online at chhumanesociety.org or for more information, call (828) 743-5752. Please join us for this unforgettable and historic evening for the animals.
