Guests will enjoy an exciting evening featuring a spectacular silent auction, exclusive live auction, themed masquerade entertainment, delicious cuisine, and live music in one of Charleston’s premier venues.

Every ticket purchased and every bid placed helps provide shelter, medical care, adoption services, and second chances for animals in need throughout our community. Put on your finest masquerade attire and join us for a memorable night where compassion takes center stage.

Together, we can give thousands of animals the opportunity for a brighter future.
