Hope Gala

Operation Kindness' Hope Gala is our annual spring event. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in-person festivities have been canceled. However, animals continue to need our support - now more than ever. To raise the critical funds needed for our lifesaving work, Operation Kindness will host a week-long online silent auction beginning April 5. The auction will close at 8:00pm on Saturday, April 10. 

Please bid high to save lives!

The animals are forever grateful for your support. If you have previously sponsored this event, we invite you to help Fund Our Mission and make a 100% tax-deductible donation to the animals.

Is this event like the Virtual Canines, Cats and Cabernet?

The Hope Gala is different than the virtual gala we hosted in November. This event is an online silent auction. We will not host a live show in April.

How do I bid?

Make sure you are registered for the auction so you can receive all the information. When the online silent auction opens on April 5, you can start bidding! Watch this video for a bidding tutorial.

I have sponsored this event before and would like to sponsor it again, how do I do this?
The animals are forever grateful for your support! This year, we are requesting our sponsors "Fund the Mission". This 100% tax-deductible donation will go directly to the animals.

I am interested in underwriting this event, how do I do this?

Please contact Colleen Lemons, [email protected]. 

How long will the auction be open?

You will be able to bid on items from Monday, April 5 at 12:00pm until Saturday, April 10 at 8:00pm. 

I won an item! How do I pick it up?

When will the raffle winner be chosen?

We will draw the winner on Saturday, April 10 at 7:55pm. Make sure you purchase your raffle ticket before then! We will send an email and text out with the name of the raffle winner.
