The 2026 Fur Ball auction has concluded!
Auction donations are about more than the generosity of the donor. They inspire generosity in others, creating an opportunity for so many to give! We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed an item, experience, or service. Here, we celebrate the donors whose support in the auction helps pets find loving homes.

On the night of the event, we had several generous people and organizations step in and make the event even better, by throwing in a "Wild Card" to the live auction! We give a special thanks to the spontaneous and heartfelt generosity of:
And a final, very special thanks to Colorfil Air Filters and their CEO James Langer. Colorfil has long been a supporter of the Champaign County Humane Society, and we are grateful to have friends like them. Not only were Colorfil presenting sponsors at this year's Fur Ball (and many, many others!), we asked James Langer to welcome our guests. As we did, he generously surprised the family in our audience with the most pets, with free air filters for life. It was totally unexpected to us, and to the room, and we can't begin to value that gift! Thank you Colorfil, for your continued support of homeless pets, as well as the comfort of pets already in home.
