Join Us!

The night sparkles while our residents shine!

As ARC’s signature event, the Starlight Auction is an opportunity to gather and celebrate the year’s successes and support ARC’s efforts to help homeless pets in need.

In one evening, friends of ARC come together to enjoy an exquisite meal and participate in both our silent auction and exciting live auction events. These auctions provide you a fantastic opportunity to get a jump on your holiday shopping while helping out a great cause. Imagine… holiday gifts that are tax deductible! If you’re looking for a fun evening filled with excitement and anticipation for a good cause, please join us at this year’s annual event.

Hurry! Spaces fill up quickly! Tickets are on sale for $125 per person and include admission to the live/silent auction, complimentary cocktail, dinner, dessert and coffee.

You may also choose to become an Event Sponsor! All contributors to our auction receive the recognition they deserve by being listed in the Auction Program and by inclusion in our newsletter, which reaches over 6000 households and businesses. With a wide range of media coverage in place for this event -- such as local newspapers, television, and radio stations who support ARC's efforts as a no-kill sanctuary -- we anticipate that close to 300 people will attend this year's auction in person, in addition to possibly hundreds more through our mobile auction. Our sponsorship levels are listed below, and may be purchased online through PayPal.
