About the PAWS Gala
PAWlez-vous Français?
An Evening of French Flair Benefitting the Galveston Island Humane Society
Chère Amie,
There is a beautiful French expression, joie de vivre--the joy of living. It is found in sharing a wonderful meal, gathering with friends, celebrating life's special moments, and appreciating the simple gifts that surround us.
At the Galveston Island Humane Society, we witness that same joy every day: a timid dog wagging its tail for the first time, a kitten finding a forever family, or a senior pet discovering that love has no age limit.
We are excited to announce our 25th Annual Gala, PAWlez-vous Français?. Join us for an elegant evening inspired by the warmth, charm, and generosity of French culture on Saturday, September 26, at the Galveston Island Convention Center. We are thrilled to honor Jen and Purvez Captain, dedicated advocates and fervent supporters of the Galveston Island Humane Society.
We invite you to become a sponsor of this celebrated annual event. Every sponsorship directly provides shelter, medical care, nourishment, enrichment, and second chances for the thousands of animals who come through our donors each year. It also strengthens our community through adoption programs, humane education, and resources that help keep pets and families together.
Your partnership is more than a sponsorship--it is an investment in compassion. It tells our community that your business or family believes every animal deserves safety, kindness, and the opportunity to experience the joy of a loving home.
As a sponsor, you will receive meaningful recognition before and during the event while joining a distinguished group of supporters who make our mission possible.
We hope you will raise a glass with us and celebrate the spirit of generosity, friendship, and joie de vivre that defines both this special evening and the animals whose lives you will change.
On behalf of every wagging tail, grateful purr, and future forever family, merci for your consideration and support.
Together, we can create a community where every animal is valued, every life matters, and every happy ending is worth celebrating.
With Gratitude,
Michelle Beckwith, Cynthia McEldowney Parsons, & Concetta Maceo Sims
