Black Tie & Tails: It’s All Fun & Games

This year, Black Tie & Tails invites you to play with purpose.

It’s All Fun & Games is a lively, joy-filled celebration inspired by the enrichment, activity and engagement that help our animals thrive every single day.

Because at Animal Friends, fun isn’t frivolous – it’s fundamental to our residents’ well-being.

Join 500 animal lovers for an unforgettable evening sponsored by Fragasso Financial Advisors and curated by LUXE Creative. Together, we’ll raise critical funds to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals in need – while supporting the lifesaving care, interactive enrichment programs, behavioral training and community outreach that give them the happy, health lives they deserve.

Because when animals get to play, explore and engage – they heal.

And let the games begin.

Match Challenge

Play It Forward and Help More Animals Heal and Thrive

Your Gift Through September 26 Goes Further with a 50¢-on-the-Dollar Match Challenge

Every day, animals arrive at our door frightened, uncertain and in need of compassion. With time, patience and our expert care, they begin to trust again — discovering what it means to feel safe, to play and to connect. Your support makes these transformations possible, opening the door to healing and new beginnings.

Right now, right here, you have the power to help even more animals find safety, healing and love.

As part of this year’s Black Tie & Tails: It’s All Fun & Games, your gift through our Play It Forward Challenge will be matched 50¢ on the dollar up to $100,000, thanks to the incredible generosity of longtime animal advocate and Board Chair Bob Fragasso.

Give today to Play It Forward and help more animals find their way from fear to hope — and ultimately, to the loving homes they’ve been waiting for.
