Voted Best Gala in the ‘Burgh for three consecutive years, Animal Friends’ Black Tie & Tails is Pittsburgh’s most unique, playful and lifesaving event!

Whether you choose to come party casual or dressed to the nines, prepare to be dazzled as Animal Friends’ beautiful 75-acre campus is transformed into a stunning display highlighted by the animals whose lives have been saved thanks to your generosity. Experience an unforgettable evening that includes an interactive array of decadent food, creative drinks and cocktails, lively entertainment and so much more.

Treat yourself to fabulous packages in the silent auction and don’t forget to take a chance – or two or three – in the annual Black Tie & Tails Raffle with tail-wagging cash prizes. Don’t worry, if you can’t join the party in person, you can still participate from wherever you are with online bidding starting Sept. 10. And, thanks to the generosity of local business leader and animal advocate Bob Fragasso, each donation will be matched – 50 cents on the dollar up to $100,000 – to provide intervention, safe haven and a voice for animals who are desperately in need of rescue and a second chance.

The festivities begin with a special patron party from 5:30-6:30 p.m. followed by the main event from 6:30-10 p.m. Of course, there will be plenty of time to mingle with the real party animals – the dog, cat and rabbit residents at Animal Friends!

Don’t miss your chance to experience the Best Gala in the ‘Burgh at Animal Friends’ Black Tie & Tails on Saturday, Sept. 24. Tickets are available now at ThinkingOutsideTheCage.org/BTT.
