Rescue Me Gala 2007 |
On Saturday, April 21st, The Washington Animal
Rescue League will host its annual black-tie ball, the
Rescue Me Gala, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in
Washington, DC. Approximately 500 guests will feast on
gourmet cuisine while listening to live music provided by
the 11-member band, Escapade.
Last year's Rescue Me Gala
proved to be a memorable and
entertaining evening. Jeff
Corwin, host of Corwin's Quest
on Discovery Channel's
Animal Planet, enthralled
guests as the night's keynote
speaker, and NBC-4's Wally
Bruckner served as the gala's
emcee. The raffle featured a
$13,000 aquamarine pendant,
generously donated by
Tiffany & Co., that created spirited bidding amongst the
guests. The evening culminated with a parade of the
League's finest canines, most of whom found good
homes as a result of the gala.
This year, guests may expect another elegant affair
with even more incredible auction items, including a
different piece donated by Tiffany & Co., a spectacular
African safari, and a private sitting for the winning
bidder's pet with Pulitzer-prize winning photographer,
Carol Guzy.

WARL anticipates more than 700 people and 200
dogs to descend on the campus of American University
on Sunday, June 3rd, for the annual 5k Fun Run/2-mile
walk. Mutts Strut is a great opportunity for runners
(human only) and walkers to share a day outdoors with
canine companions for a good cause. Plenty of family activities,
including face
painting and
dog-biscuit
decorating, will
top off the fun.

young and old ¡V support the League with their talents.
A portion of the sales of the high-end art created by
Discovery Galleries¡¦ many artists-in-residence will
benefit the League, as will the sale of original dog
bandanas created by them. The proceeds from a silent
auction of portraits of League animal by students at
Lowell School will all be donated to the League.
