Raise Your Paws Gala

Another worthy cause to mark on your social calendars:

ABC Goes All Out To Help The Animals

The Animals Benefit Club of Arizona (ABC) will hold its annual Raise Your Paws Gala at an elegant venue on Friday, March 3, 2006 from 6 to 11pm.

The Better Half Players will fill the night with a great variety of jazz, country and pop while young professional dancers will jive to the music.

Exceptional hors d'oeuvres and a wonderfully prepared dinner with fine wine and champagne will be elegantly served.

Exclusive and beautiful items will be offered at a Silent Auction, and several exciting prizes will be auctioned off live including a brand new Harley Davidson pearl grey Softail Motorcycle. Each ticket will provide a chance on "must-have" door prizes.

But behind the glitz of the ball is the sad reality of thousands of dogs and cats who have been abused or abandoned in the Phoenix area. ABC is a no-kill sanctuary, and in twenty-five years has saved 16,420 deserving cats and dogs. ABC's most recent rescues included 67 dogs, pups, cats and kittens
who are Hurricane Katrina/Rita survivors. Their stories are both inspiring and heartwarming. They are so appreciative of all the love and caring we are giving each of them.
