Bow Wow Meow Ball

The 2026 Bow Wow Meow Ball was truly one for the books! More than 400 animal lovers came together for a spectacular, sold-out evening celebrating ARF Hamptons and the animals at the heart of everything we do.

We were honored to present longtime ARF Board member and devoted animal advocate Lisa McCarthy with the Champion of Animals Award, recognizing her decades of dedication to ARF and the animals who need us most.

From cocktails and dinner by Olivier Cheng to dancing to GR1FN, an incredible call to arms led by Harry Santa Olalla and unforgettable moments with our furry friends, the evening was filled with love, laughter and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Chuck Scarborough kept the festivities moving as our wonderful emcee.

A celebration this special takes a village, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the Bow Wow Meow Ball such a memorable night.
