Step Into a Night of Elegance and Purpose at The Mutt Gala: The Velvet PawThe Animal Welfare League invites you to an extraordinary evening where timeless glamour meets a mission that matters. The Mutt Gala: The Velvet Paw is more than a charity event—it is a celebration of compassion, community, and the lives forever changed through your support. Guided through the evening by our Master of Ceremonies, Jennifer Beane, guests will experience a night designed to inspire, delight, and make a lasting impact.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be immersed in an atmosphere of Old Hollywood sophistication. Imagine rich velvet textures underfoot, silk drapery flowing overhead, and chandeliers casting a warm golden glow across candlelit tables. Pearls, polished ties, and subtle shimmering details evoke classic elegance, while playful nods to collars and paws remind us of the true stars of the night—the animals whose lives depend on our generosity.
Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy curated entertainment, elevated dining, and meaningful moments that bring the mission of the Animal Welfare League to life. General event admission is $150 per guest, and for those wishing to share the experience, tables of eight are available at a preferred rate of $1,100, offering a $100 savings while creating a more intimate and memorable evening among friends, colleagues, or clients.
