Second Chance Announces 26th Annual Auction Gala on March 29

EAST BROOKFIELD — Second Chance Animal Services will host its 26th annual Auction Gala on Saturday, March 29 at the AC Marriott in Worcester. This is Second Chance’s most important fundraiser of the year, raising critical funds to help provide life-saving services to more than 56,000 pets in need.

The evening will feature hundreds of silent auction items, raffles, and a small but exclusive live auction offering one-of-a-kind experiences. With a relaxed cocktail and dressy-casual dress code, the event is designed to be an enjoyable evening for all, combining great company with opportunities to make a meaningful impact. All proceeds will support Second Chance’s mission to transform the lives of pets by providing affordable veterinary care, keeping pets with their families, and finding loving homes for animals in need. Tickets are on sale now, and seating is limited, so early reservations are encouraged.

Businesses and individuals can also support the event by sponsoring, which includes recognition in event materials, highlighting their commitment to supporting pets in need. Donations to the auction are another way to get involved, with unique goods, services, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences being especially popular.

“This event is all about bringing people together to help pets in need,” said Lindsay Doray, chief Development officer of Second Chance. “With hundreds of auction items, raffles, and a live auction, there’s something for everyone. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation makes a direct impact on the lives of pets in our community.”
