In addition to all the festivities during the gala, PETA will feature an exclusive silent auction, offering items from vacations at exotic, vegan-friendly resorts to a vast array of cruelty-free items from companies that support PETA and our crucial work.

One hundred percent of all proceeds from the silent auction at the gala will be put toward PETA's Animal Emergency Fund, which underwrites our Hurricane Katrina animal rescue and relief efforts, our unique "storm tracker" staff position, the distribution of our disaster preparedness public service announcements that help to get countless animals out of harm's way before disaster strikes, and our work to pressure government officials to allow companion animals to be evacuated along with their guardians, not just in the wake of Katrina, but also when future disasters strike.
