Second Annual Gala
An Evening of Community, Compassion, and Lifesaving Impact
This isn’t just a gala—it’s a room full of people showing up for the animals and the work that gives them a chance.
Join us at Alturia Farm for an evening built around community, compassion, and lifesaving impact for the animals in our area.
This event supports the ongoing needs of King William Regional Animal Shelter. The work there never really slows down. Animals continue to arrive needing medical care, heartworm treatment, recovery from injury, and the everyday support that helps them move toward better outcomes. This night exists to help make that work possible.
The evening begins with cocktail hour, followed by a buffet-style dinner, live DJ music, and dancing in a barn generously donated for the event. Guests can also take part in a digital silent auction featuring items donated by local businesses, enter a raffle, and visit the photo station to capture the moment.
At its core, this is about more than an event—it’s about showing up for animals who are depending on a community that cares enough to act. Come ready to enjoy good food, music, and time with your community, knowing your presence helps support lifesaving efforts that continue long after the night ends.
Admission: $75 minimum donation per guest.
