The Jelly Bean Jump Up will take place 7 p.m. Tuesday. Attendees will be emailed a link beforehand.

The virtual event will give attendees a chance to hear about the work SafeHouse Center does and will feature an interactive pet show-and-tell, in which attendees are encouraged to show off their pets, a pet memorial and live music from May Erlewine -- who recently played the 44th Ann Arbor Folk Fest.

A specialty cocktail commemorating a furry best friend who is no longer with us is also available for purchase. Emmy’s Epitaph features Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Bols Genever Gin, Cardamaro liqueur and Regan’s orange bitters. It can be purchased here.

Dinner packages must be ordered before 2 p.m. Sunday.

Funds raised from Jelly Bean Jump Up will benefit Ann Arbor’s SafeHouse Center, who serves domestic violence and sexual assault survivors in Washtenaw County.
