This highly anticipated event hosts more than 300 guests for an evening of shopping, cocktails, dinner, and dessert while supporting a great cause.
Auction items include weekend getaways, fine art, gift certificates, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind treasures. Not only is it a fabulous way to network and celebrate, but you are contributing to animals in need who have no voice except for the ones we create for them out of a simple act of compassion.
PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT
In addition to the incredible shopping and extraordinary energy of the evening, the goal is to raise over $100,000 and awareness for the special needs animals we support.
This event allows Animal Lifeline to continue to save dogs and cats who have been severely abused; are handicapped, injured, pregnant, or nursing; or have been orphaned and need to be bottle-fed—animals that may not have a chance at a traditional shelter. Animal Lifeline cares for each animal until a forever home can be found.
We are 100% supported by private donations and proceeds from our Thrift Shop. We receive no government funding; we rely entirely on you for your generous support of our Animal Shelter and Thrift Shop.
Within 7 business days of purchasing your ticket/s or table/s, you will receive an email from [email protected] confirming your purchase, confirming meal selection, and providing additional event information.
This email message will require a response from the purchaser.
