Night at the Races
Put on your finest derby hat, place your bets, and raise a glass for the animals. An evening of high-stakes racing, Triple Crown-themed bites, and FURlong fun — all for a great cause.
They're Off! And It's All For the Animals.
Get ready for the most exciting new event on the Humane Society of Macomb calendar. Night at the Races brings the thrill of the track to Infinity Hall & Sidebar in Fraser for one unforgettable evening of simulated horse racing, Triple Crown-themed food and drinks, and the kind of energy you can only get when 330 animal lovers pack a room.
Watch 10 action-packed races on the big screens, place your bets (cash only — come prepared!), and cheer for the horse you named. Every dollar wagered, every ticket purchased, and every horse named goes directly to the animals at the Humane Society of Macomb who are waiting for their FURever homes.
Plus, stick around for a mystery 11th race — the naming rights will be auctioned live between races. It's anyone's game.

Name a Horse, Change a Life
This is the heart of Night at the Races. We need to name 100 horses across 10 races — and each one needs a champion like you behind it. Name a horse after your pet, your kid, your business, or that friend who always bets on the long shot.
When your horse hits the screen and the announcer calls its name, the whole room will know you're the one who went all in for the animals. It's the most fun $25 can buy — and every cent helps shelter pets find their FURever homes.
