Saturday, August 16
Marriott Downtown
*Proceeds benefit KHS

Last year, hundreds of pet lovers pumped up the volume with the Kentucky Humane Society (KHS) for the 14th annual TUXES & TAILS benefit auction and gala, presented by Brown-Forman.

Held at Churchill Downs' fourth floor Millionaires Row, the rockin' affair got underway with a silent auction, open bar and hors d'oeuvres. The festivities continued with a delicious dinner, KHS success stories, live auction, rock and roll music throughout the decades, adoptable pets and more.

Thanks to everyone's support, KHS raised over $125,000, helping thousands of needy animals in the community!
