What is Tuxes & Tails?
Tuxes & Tails is the Seattle Humane Society’s largest and most important fundraising event of the year.  The money raised from the event directly support the more than 6,000 animals in our care each year, in addition to funding the various programs provided to the community.

Date:
Saturday, April 24, 2010

Location: 
The Sheraton Seattle Hotel’s Grand Ballroom-

There will not be parking available at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel, but there are several parking lots nearby.  For a map, please visit the Directions and Maps page. 

Volunteer Check-in/Check-out:
All volunteers should check-in on the second floor of the Sheraton, in the Douglas Room, 30 minutes before your assigned shift is to begin.  Once your shift is complete, please check out at the same location before leaving.

Volunteer Dress Code:
Each volunteer will be given a Tuxes & Tails t-shirt and is asked to wear black pants and comfortable black shoes.  T-shirts will be available for pick-up at the shelter the week before the event or in the volunteer room at check-in.  Please make sure to request your t-shirt size on the committee request form.

Volunteer Meals:
Food, water, and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided throughout the day and night of the event for volunteers. 

Volunteer Bidding:
Volunteers who wish to do so may receive a bid card. As volunteers have time, they may bid on either the silent or live auctions, provided it doesn’t interfere with their duties.  If you would like a bid card, please come by the Registration table before you check-in for your shift.
