1,100 Guests Expected at Tuxes & Tails – Nordic Nights

October 11, 2018 by Post

The Humane Society of Tampa Bay to host record crowd at annual black-tie gala this Saturday, October 13th, at the Tampa Convention Center

 

TAMPA, FLA (October 10, 2018) – Tickets to Tuxes & Tails – N ordic Nights sold out two weeks ago but the requests to attend the event keep pouring in. While a waiting list has been created, the Society does not expect to accommodate more than the 1,100 already registered to attend.

 

“Tuxes & Tails has grown exponentially in the past few years. It just keeps getting bigger and better as the community continues to embrace our mission to end animal homelessness,” said Humane Society of Tampa Bay’s CEO Sherry Silk. “It is very clear to us that Tuxes & Tails has come into its own as Tampa’s premiere fundraising gala.”

 

This year, in addition to the Society’s growing prominence as a community resource, there are several factors contributing to record ticket sales and sponsorships:

 

  • The recent announcement of the DeBartolo Family Animal Shelter set to break ground in spring 2019
  • The event’s Honorary Co-Hosts Lisa DeBartolo and Nikki DeBartolo
  • The support of the event’s Presenting Sponsor The Brink Foundation

 

Tuxes & Tails- Nordic Nights will take place this Saturday, October 13, 2018 at the Tampa Convention Center from 5:30pm – Midnight.

 

  • Guests will drink, dine, and dance the night away with the following attractions:
  • 70+ adoptable pets
  • Cocktail Party with complimentary wine and beer
