Get ready for a night where art gets wild and tails wag in style! Black Tie & Tails: Pawp Art is this year’s can't-miss fundraising gala — a bold, colorful and totally groovy evening where creativity meets compassion.
Produced by award-winning LUXE Creative, our 75-acre campus in Ohio Township will be transformed into a vibrant playground of pop art, music, and lifesaving giving for animals in need.
Want your company in the spotlight?As a sponsor, you'll connect with 500+ big-hearted, fun-loving supporters, from animal lovers to philanthropists to community leaders, all ready to party with a purpose.
Now through September 27, every dollar you donate to Animal Friends pops even bigger during the Art of Saving Lives Challenge. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Bob Fragasso, every donation will be matched 50 cents on the dollar up to $100,000! With your support, we have the chance to raise $300,000 to rescue, rehabilitate and be a voice for animals who cannot speak for themselves.
This year’s Rescue Me Raffle comes with a heartwarming twist! Not only do you have the chance to win cash prizes, but your participation also helps animals in need.
We’re giving away three cash prizes of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000. Winners will be announced live at our celebrated Black Tie & Tails party on Saturday, September 27!
Tickets are $20 for 1 or 3 for $50, and purchasing is simple:

Enter our Pawp Pour-trait Contest
When creativity, compassion and community come together, something extraordinary happens — and our first-ever Pawp Pour-traits Contest is a perfect example. We’re teaming up with Acclamation Brewery to immortalize four lucky companion animals as the faces on special limited-edition beer cans — and every vote helps fuel rescue efforts, support vulnerable pet owners and build a more compassionate future for our entire region. Submit your favorite photo of your companion animal for a chance to turn them into a true work of Pawp Art. Entries and voting will wrap just after the Black Tie & Tails Pawp Art gala, so you can join the fun from anywhere and be part of something worth toasting.
