Thank you to everyone who helped make Top Hat & Tails our most successful fundraiser yet!

On October 25th, the SPCA of Westchester hosted its 6th annual Top Hat & Tails benefit event at the Westchester Marriott, which raised an astounding $255,000!

Attendees enjoyed an unforgettable live and silent auction while dancing the night away to The LaBlanc Brothers Band. A photo essay by local fine art photographer Pam Connolly featured all the animals at the shelter who benefitted from this enchanting evening. Canine "dates" were on their best behavior as guests enjoyed a formal dinner and cocktail hour.

Joan Kalman was honored with the John W. Beach Memorial Award and Village Animal Clinic was awarded the Distinguished Service Award for the support they have shown our needy animals. Featured guests were Maria Milito of Q104.3, Catherine Michaels of 100.7 WHUD, and Count Max Tucci of 2 The Max LA Radio, who generously lended their voices for this special night!

We want to extend a hearfelt thank you to everyone who sponsored the event, attended, donated, and/or purchased a benefit journal ad, all of which helped to ensure the success of this wonderful event. We hope everyone enjoyed the night and knows how grateful we are for their support.
