We would like to thank our sponsors and ticket purchasers for their support of our unique Museum.

A special evening honoring Ellen MacNeille Charles, President of the Board of Directors and the Honorable Dave C. Merriam, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

We are celebrating the many contributions of these two beloved leaders as NYC bustles once again.

The evening will begin with a special cocktail reception at the Museum—Around the World with Whiskey—which will feature whiskeys from three countries paired with artwork from our collection featuring breeds from each local. Hors d’oeuvres, wine, and soft drinks will also be served.

Guests will then proceed to dinner and Broadway-themed entertainment at the adjoining Club 101.

Tails of Manhattan is the largest fundraiser for the AKC Museum of the Dog and with generous support from donors like you we are able to continue to care for one of the leading collections of dog art in the world and foster positive engagement with our canine companions.
