Help Every Little Paw, or H.E.L.P., a nonprofit dedictated to the health and happiness of all pets, will host its fifth annual Bartenders Ball on March 4.

The event will be held from 6-9 p.m. at The Resort Plaza Shops, 210 E. Sherman Ave., Coeur d’Alene.

Proceeds will benefit H.E.L.P. in its mission to help pets.

“We achieve our goals to rescue those abandoned, strayed, or neglected and to provide medical attention, spay and neuter programs, socialization rehabilitation, and food to those in need by raising necessary funds,” stated the group’s announcement of the event.

Bartenders Ball attendees will enjoy gourmet appetizers provided by area caterers and chefs, cocktail samples from Coeur d’Alene’s favorite local bartenders and giveaways all evening. People will be able to vote for their favorite bartenders, and bid on items in live and silent auctions. Music, auctioneer and DJ will be provided by Ruby Frog Entertainment.

Pet food donations will be collected. For every pound of food, a ticket will be handed out for a chance to win a prize.

Ticket prices are $40, or $35 in advance. For tickets or information, contact Holly and Karen at Windermere Realty’s Northwest Boulevard office, (208) 659-6408, or visit HelpEveryLittlePaw.org.

Last year’s Bartenders Ball sold out, so early ticket purchases are encouraged.
