Every year, in conjunction with Mardi Gras, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society Auxiliary hosts the Jazz Cat Ball, the social event of the season. Jazz Cat Ball is one of the largest animal rescue fundraisers in the South, including a black-tie gala, seated dinner, music, casino, and huge online and live auctions!
The Jazz Cat Ball has become one of the largest charitable galas in the Southeast attracting more than 1,000 animal-loving revelers. Every year, tables and tickets sell out, and the waiting list continues to grow.
The GBHS Auxiliary Krewe was hard at work designing the transformation of The Finley Center to become Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street, complete with street lanterns, king cakes, moon pies, doubloons, throws, hurricane glasses, masks, and, of course, a jazz ensemble prior to dinner.
