All of the fashion items will be donated with the individual animal up for adoption along with other items from various sponsors. A special DJ set by local favorite and National recording artist DJ Flip Millionz will entertain guests from 7pm to 11pm.

Additionally, we continue our BLACKOUT campaign, this time going green with the Stars, which was created after our own rescue, two year old, blue eyed, Pitbull Lady Lavache. Lady, was facing a rapid end of life before being rescued. At 43 pounds, tied to a 2 foot leash on the back of a broken couch in backyard of a South Carolina home with no food or water for an uncertain time. Now 65 pounds, she serves as the motivation behind the BLACKOUT campaign, to put an end to animal neglect and homelessness.

The success of our event on the biggest sports weekend ever in Las Vegas history was key in planning future events.  Some of the charities we have partnered with in the past have included St. Baldrick’s, St. Judes Hospital, The Street Corner Foundation, Toys for Tots, Children’s Miracle Network, Susan G Komen Foundation, AIDS Foundation of Chicago and the Red Cross.
