You're invited to our first-ever, “Diamonds Are Furever” Gala and James Bond themed pet fashion show.
The diamond drenched, faux-fur wearing crowd will feast on fabulous food, sip wonderful wines, enjoy a “shaken not stirred” signature drink while bidding on awesome auctions items, praying for the winning ticket in the Luxury Raffle and bidding on some exclusive Live Auction Items only available at this gala.
This diamond studded evening will also feature a fashion show with 10 amazing men chosen for their philanthropic, charitable, animal loving, canine crusading ways in our community. The 10 Supermodels will channel their inner “007” and represent their favorite James Bond character on the catwalk alongside their canine companions.

We are grateful for the support of our gala co-chairs: Tracy Faulkner and Angelita Sampaio, the gala specialty committee, our board of directors, supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and friends.
