Partners for Pets is looking forward to celebrating our 8th annual gala on March 16, 2024!
Viva Las Vegas Gala, hosted by Bella Milano, will be held in the Leclaire Room on the Lewis & Clark Campus, Edwardsville, IL. We are hoping 2024 will bring our community pets and pet owners incredible luck as we celebrate with a Las Vegas theme including showgirls and ELVIS. Our guests will also enjoy fine dining from Bella Milano, silent & live auctions, and our open bar with premium cocktails as we dance the night away.
The purpose of our Viva Las Vegas Gala is to help homeless pets in our St Louis & Metro East communities get a second chance. Your generosity provides medical & surgical care, a safe shelter space, rescue transportation, advocacy, and supports a large foster placement system. In addition, Partners for Pets works alongside community pet owners to provide affordable spay & neuter surgery, wellness visits, and the basic care families need to keep their pets healthy and out of animal control facilities. Our impact is evident as we have rescued over 23,000 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens since 2003 and assisted over 2,000 local pet owners.
Registration is required prior to March 14 at 5 p.m. CT. For more information, visit Centerstone.org/events or call Brenda Sprague, Office of the Chief Judge, at (618) 997-1234.
