As a THLN supporter, you already know we are a volunteer-driven, donation-supported organization that relies on the generosity of animal lovers to fund our work.

While recurring and one-time donors are important, our annual gala provides a significant portion of the proceeds we need to break the chains of thousands of dogs, fight cruel puppy mill breeders, and lobby at the Legislature.

This year, we’re focused on activism and participation in the democratic process with a November 4th fundraiser called “Rock the Vote,” featuring a live band, silent auction, an open bar, and election-themed surprises along the way.

We are nearly sold out but we'd love to make room for you! If you are interested in attending please email Louise at [email protected]

Evening Includes:

 Artisan Vegan Dinner by Chef Habibi at CN Catering
 Dessert bar by Cinnaholic
 Live music by Space Rockers
 Wine, signature cocktail and whiskey tasting station
 Silent Auction & Raffle
 Liquor Roulette
 Complimentary Valet
