19th Annual Ties & Tails, HSGC BenefitGenesys Banquet & Conference Center | 11.2.2024

The Humane Society of Genesee County celebrated another fantastic fundraising event, with community members rallying together to support the animals of HSGC. Guests arrived for an elegant champagne reception and a bustling silent auction before enjoying a delicious buffet dinner. Auctioneer Ashley Peters kept the energy high as he urged bidders to compete for thrilling live auction prizes, including getaway packages to Mackinaw City and Hilton Head Island, an exclusive dinner for ten prepared by Chef Luis of Redwood Steakhouse, a tour of the Jack Daniels Distillery in Tennessee, and the unique honor of having a pet named the 2025 “Ties & Tails Ambassador.”

The highly-anticipated reverse auction focused on a critical need: supporting the shelter’s spay and neuter clinic. With remarkable generosity, attendees raised over $50,000 for this cause. Here’s to the big-hearted folks of Greater Flint — your support truly makes a difference!
