Fortunately those do-gooders aren’t stuffy old activists; they know how to throw a party. This year’s ARFF 20th Anniversary Gala is the biggest, fanciest, and most star-studded event of the charity season, emceed by none other than famed former game show host, lady kisser, and vegetarian, Bob Barker. Also, actress and sweater puppy smuggler, Pamela Anderson, is attending as the Guest of Honor. Rub elbows with them, as well as with political big shots, over a delectable, guilt-free dinner choreographed by Fort Lauderdale’s own Sublime Restaurant at this swanky, black tie optional affair. If you’re still on the fence, rest assured there’s an open bar, plenty of networking opportunities, and a silent auction filled with celebrity-worthy prizes. Your pets will be so proud of you.
Help bring change in animal rights while shaking your tail feathers at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Broward County Convention Center’s Floridian Ballroom, located at 1950 Eisenhower Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $250; get them at arff.org, or by calling 954-927-ARFF.
