Whiskers & Tales: Prom Night

One of A Kind Pet Rescue is formally inviting you to our 2025 Whiskers and Tales – Prom Night Gala! The Whiskers and Tales Gala is our biggest fundraiser and is absolutely crucial to our rescue efforts. To keep things interesting, we change the venue and theme each year. This year, you can join us at the Lebron James Foundation’s beautiful House Three Thirty for our Prom Night. It will be a night full of fun, featuring raffle baskets, both live and silent auctions, a heads or tails game, and a unique twist on “Spin the Bottle!” Did we mention the gourmet meal and appetizers that will be served to kick off the evening?

For those with a finer palate, we offer a VIP experience prior to the main event in Lobo’s Den. Here, you can enjoy a top-shelf open bar, hors d’oeuvres—including their specialty charcuterie board—and a complimentary boutonniere and corsage! After your tasting at 5 PM, you can join everyone in the ballroom at 6 PM for the main event. If you’re bringing a large group, we also have corporate tables available, seating up to eight partygoers.

There are several ways to show your support for the event and the rescue. We have four levels of sponsorships, aptly named Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. Each level comes with its own list of marketing and advertising benefits. We are also collecting items for our silent and live auctions and encourage creativity in your donations. In addition to baskets for bidding, there will be unique experiences available! If you have an item or experience you would like to donate, please do so prior to February 14th. Your contributions will help us save animals in imminent danger, including our medical cases.

Take, for instance, Poe, a puppy who was discarded by a high-volume breeder in April of last year. After being neutered, it was discovered that he had a liver shunt that needed repair. He underwent surgery in August and has healed wonderfully. Poe is still just a puppy and has no concept of medical bills—that’s why we have staff to help him with his reading! Thanks to our events and donors, we were able to save his life. This event will directly contribute to our rescue efforts, helping animals that are being discarded or are at risk of euthanasia every day.

Our Gala Committee, comprised of dedicated staff and volunteers, will be working tirelessly to ensure this is a night you won’t want to miss. Will you join us for this dance? You can purchase tickets here and get more information about sponsorships or donations.
