We love that Austin Pets Alive!, the Capital Area’s largest no-kill animal rescue organization, will hold its third annual “Tricks and Treats” charity gala at the Hyatt Regency Austin hotel on Sunday evening, October 25, 2015 starting at 5:00 pm.

The black-tie optional “Tricks and Treats” themed event will include a welcome reception, three-course gourmet dinner, and both silent and live auctions. All money raised will support APA!’s mission to save companion animals from euthanasia and find them permanent homes.

The gala co-chairs are Becky Layne and Liz Handlin, while Deb O’Keefe, morning co-host on 101.5 KROX, will emcee the evening’s activities. APA Executive Director Dr. Ellen Jefferson says the event is critical for Austin to continue leading the national no-kill movement.

Live and silent auctions will be key to the gala’s success. Individual gala tickets are $250, with full tables of 10 also available. For more information to purchase tickets and attend, visit www.austinpetsalive.org/events/tricks-treats/
