... benefiting the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA) will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2021.
We hope you will join us in supporting the work HRA does in our community and beyond.
And the best part is that anyone, anywhere can participate in this annual tradition.

In 2020, with the state of the world we hosted a completely virtual experience – Bark Ball
Reimagined. This year, we’re ready to dip our paws back into in-person event experiences.
This years’ Bark Ball will be a new experience – some virtual engagement and some in-person.
So, you could say it will provide something for everyone! We want to meet you at your
comfort and safety level, all while providing you an opportunity to showcase your
support for HRA and for us to provide you a fun experience.
Your support of the Bark Ball will help HRA continue to provide the community with
critical life-saving programs and services. We are ever so grateful for your continued
support through the Bark Ball.

Reasons to Support the Bark Ball
The Bark Ball presents a great opportunity to associate your organization with a compelling,
bi-partisan community organization whose work not only helps animals, but also provides support
to communities and families through pet wellness programs and offers guidance and assistance to
those needing help with everything from wounded wildlife to animal cruelty investigations.
Your company and brand will be heavily promoted as an event sponsor and
association with HRA’s brand and meaningful work in the community.

About the Humane Rescue Alliance
The Humane Rescue Alliance has protected and cared for the animals of the nation’s capital for 150 years and serves thousands of
animals annually. Its broad range of programs offered include: direct rescue and care of animals in need, cruelty investigations and
local animal control services, robust regional community support programs that help pets stay with their families, and a premier
transport program that invests in partner communities to solve pet overpopulation sustainably and nationwide. The organization
advocates for and enables the safety and welfare of all animals, bringing people and animals together, and working within communities
to support these relationships. HRA is based in Washington, DC, and through a merger with St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in
Madison, New Jersey, created the first regional, community-based, multi-state animal welfare organization in the nation.
