Canine-Friendly Ball
for Playful Pups & the People Who Love Them
Raises Funds for
Homeless Cats & Dogs
Adoptable dogs and
puppies will also be in attendance.
WHAT:
Martinis and dog biscuits will be on the menu on Monday,
June 15, 2026, as playful pups and the people who love them
will gather for the 2026 Bideawee Ball where funds
will be raised to rescue, treat and place homeless dogs and
cats in permanent, loving homes. At 123 years old, Bideawee
is one of the country’s oldest animal welfare and pet
adoption organizations with locations in Manhattan and Long
Island. The fundraising gala – open to well-behaved dogs and
their doting human parents – will take place at the
Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan.
This year’s Bideawee
Ball honoree is Ronni Rothbart, an incredible
longtime volunteer, former foster parent, adopter, and
donor. Ronni’s dedication to Bideawee’s mission is truly
inspiring. After losing her beloved Bideawee alum, her cat
Patrick, she established the Patrick Fund in his
memory. Patrick had been found left in a bucket in terrible
shape. Brought to Bideawee by firefighters, Patrick needed
months of medical care which Bideawee provided. Ronnie
stepped up to foster Patrick before eventually adopting him.
After his passing, Ronni set up the Patrick Fund, in his
honor, to help other animals who need costly medical care.
This fund is vital to Bideawee’s work, as it provides
life-saving medical care to animals who arrive at its doors
in desperate need.
The Bideawee Ball
welcomes both two-legged and four-legged guests for a night
of celebration and giving back. Pampered pups will enjoy a
dedicated treat bar created exclusively for canine
attendees, while adoptable dogs and puppies will be on hand
throughout the evening, offering guests the chance to meet
some lovable future companions.
For human guests,
the evening will feature a cocktail hour, seated dinner, and
an inspiring live donation appeal benefiting our mission.
Black-tie optional attire is encouraged for both people and
pups.
