The MRFRS Fur Ball Gala and Auction
Our signature fundraising event, the MRFRS Fur Ball Gala and Auction is held every fall. This is one of two major fundraisers MRFRS holds each year to benefit the thousands of cats and kittens helped by our organization.
The MRFRS Fur Ball Auction and Gala will share some of the many success stories made possible because of you, our generous sponsors. You or your company will get ample visibility with more than 225 people who attend or volunteer at the event. Doug Meehan of WCVB Channel 5’s Eye Opener News will again feature the Fur Ball on Monday’s “Wake Up Call.” Each guest will receive an event program that will include your name or logo along with the sponsorship level chosen.
The benefits outlined below will provide significant recognition of your commitment to the community and to the MRFRS. Depending upon the level of sponsorship you select, you or your company will be featured in pre-event emails, posters and social media, as well as on the MRFRS and BiddingForGood websites that reach thousands of people locally and regionally.
All sponsorship benefits include:
- Link to sponsor's website from MRFRS.org
- Recognition on Bidding for Good website
- Sponsor Lapel Pin
- Special sponsor name tags for the Fur Ball
Sponsor's logo or name will be added to the website within one week of receipt of sponsorship election/payment.
If you are interested in sponsoring the Fur Ball Gala or donate an item to the live or silent auctions, please download this year's sponsorship package, which has the forms you need to support this spectacular event and cement your business' reputation as a caring establishment in your community.

Our second major fundraising event is our Annual Strut for Strays, to be held in June 2021 and details will be published as the event draws nearer.
Both events are popular and well attended, offering many effective sponsorship opportunities for your business. We hope that you will choose to sponsor one or more of our events this year in order to help us help more cats and kittens in need in our communities! If you have any questions, or want to talk about sponsoring some of our other events throughout the year, please don’t hesitate to contact our Development Manager via email at karen@mrfrs.org.
Place an MRFRS Donation Can in Your Business
If you own a retail-type business, consider having an MRFRS donation can at your checkout counter. Our donation can program raises much-needed funds to help cats and kittens in need. We do all the work, with volunteers who drop off and pick up cans.
For more information on how you can help, email Lauren at laureng@mrfrs.org.
