Grab your pup and get ready to celebrate…
Yappy Hour is the only cocktail party in Metro Detroit where your dog is invited! Grab your furry friends and enjoy an evening of cocktails, tasty treats, a silent auction, red carpet photography, and so much more. All proceeds will benefit the animals of the Michigan Animal Rescue League!
While we can’t say for sure yet if Yappy Hour 2021 will be in-person, virtual, or something in-between, one thing is for certain – we will be hosting a spectacular event in support of the animals!
Right now we are hoping to host an in-person Yappy Hour on the beautiful grounds of Meadow Brook Hall on Thursday, June 3rd.
In the springtime, MARL will make a final decision on the format of our event. If we decide not to host an in-person Yappy Hour, we will present another virtual event bigger and better than ever!
Although 2020 was a year like none other, the needs of the animals never went away, and neither did we. Last year’s first-ever virtual Yappy Week was an amazing success, raising over $130,000 for the animals! MARL never closed our doors during the pandemic and with your help we never will.
Tickets coming soon!
