Cat Walk

catwalk_2011_posterOn January 30, 2011, the Humane Society of Greater Dayton hosted "Cat Walk: Diva Las Vegas," an outrageous annual fundraising event held at the Dayton Marriott. Some of the area's top salons participated in an extraordinary competition to earn the "Top Cat" title and raise funds for our cat programs.

Over 700 attendees gathered for a spectacular show, delicious food, an exciting "cat-sino" game and a reception. Thirteen area salons competed on the catwalk, showcasing their talents for a variety of awards. This year's Top Cat Award went to Square One Salon and Day Spa! Congratulations to the Square One models and stylists on the amazing performance that earned them
Cat Walk's highest honor.

This exciting event raised more than $90,000 for the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, making it the highest-grossing Cat Walk ever! Thank you to all sponsors and attendees who supported Cat Walk 2011. And thank you to the talented salons that continue to amaze us with their artistry each year. Finally, we especially appreciate the help of the Cat Walk committee and volunteers who make the event possible year after year. Click here for photos of Cat Walk.
