The event will be held at Dallas World Aquarium. A cocktail hour with live steel drum music playing in the background, served appetizers, drink and a silent auction will kick off the event prior to dinner. All guests will have the opportunity to bid through use of cell phone applications or the many ipads that will be scattered throughout the venue (via services provided by AES Auctions)so you will always know if you are the highest bidder!

Guests will be seated and enjoy a delicious, three course meal served to them with wine service throughout the dinner portion of the event. Presentations during dinner include Guest speaker Gus Hinojosa who will be highlighting a slide show about the progress on the new Adoption Facility followed by the President and Founder of American Dog Rescue Arthur Benjamin. After the speeches, last years winner of the Justice Award, Scotlund Haisley and his Animal Rescue Corps team will present an award to the Texas Humane Legislation Network for going above and beyond in their work saving animals in Texas.

Next, professional auctioneer Louis Murad will lead a video presentation of each Live Auction item to help raise money for our cause. Guests will receive parting gifts as they leave the event filled with complimentary items from sponsors and donors for the Gala.
