This highly anticipated event hosts nearly 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 $130,000 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. As a no-K*ll rescue, we manage our intakes based on our available resources and adoption demand. The more community support we have, the more animals we can save.


You will receive an email prior to the event from Info@animallifelineia.org confirming your purchase, confirming meal selection, and providing additional event information.
