Petwrk Holiday Party 2026

The Petwrk Holiday Party is more than a seasonal celebration. It's a fundraising event supporting the continued growth and development of Petwrk, a free, community-driven app designed to connect pet owners and animal advocates.

Petwrk helps people build meaningful connections through pet profiles, local networking, playdates, community discussions, pet-friendly events, and exclusive perks.

As an independent platform focused on building stronger pet communities, Petwrk is creating opportunities for people to connect through their shared love of animals.

The December 12 fundraiser will bring this mission to life with holiday festivities, networking, and opportunities to support local businesses.

The event will take place at Bark BBQ, a locally owned, woman-owned pet boutique and smokehouse located at:

4240 N Arlington Heights Rd, Arlington Heights, IL 60004

Known for handcrafted smoked dog treats, premium pet foods, and thoughtfully curated products from local makers, Bark BBQ offers a fitting setting for a celebration centered on pets and community.

The event also highlights the importance of supporting independent businesses throughout Arlington Heights and the surrounding Northwest Chicago suburbs.
