Looking for a fun way to support a great animal cause? Join Foothills Animal Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports the animals cared for by Foothills Animal Shelter, for the 3rd annual Raise the WOOF! gala. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Colorado School of Mines—Green Center at 924 16th St. in Golden.

Savor great food from over 20 top-rated restaurants. Bid on fabulous silent and live auction items while enjoying interactive entertainment. The icing on the cake? Spend time with adoptable Shelter dogs who will all be in need of forever homes.

The evening’s emcee, 7News anchor Christine Chang, will kick off the event at 5:00 p.m. Live auction and entertainment will start at 8:15 p.m. Individual tickets are $150 and young professionals (under the age of 35) are $115. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, too!
