Yappy Hour has become one of Metro Detroit’s premier events, drawing extensive media coverage and selling out last year with 550 guests. With overwhelmingly positive feedback, we anticipate another sold-out evening – our biggest and best Yappy Hour yet!
Yappy Hour’s popularity makes it an event individuals and companies are eager to associate their names with. It’s a great marketing opportunity with a direct impact upon homeless and at-risk animals.
Please review the sponsorship opportunities below and join us in celebrating The Magic of MARL at Yappy Hour.
Yappy Hour will be held on Thursday, September 18, 2025 in the historic gardens of Meadow Brook Hall.
