an UN-Gala

Party with PAALS: an UN-Gala is one of the area’s most unique fundraisers and PAALS’ largest event of the year.

The 2019 UN-Gala theme is Murray Movie Mayhem. You will enter he wacky world of Bill Murray Movies like Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack and Stripes. Of course the brave PAALS dogs and puppies will also be featured. So dress up as your favorite Murray Movie Mayhem character or just casual if you prefer. Remember this is and UN-Gala, so leave your cocktail dresses and tuxes at home. As you plan your costume, remember this is a 21 and up event so don’t worry about scaring the kids.

Each Un-Gala features lots of food, entertainment, silent and live auctions, fun games and, of course, plenty of adult beverages.

The 2019 UN-Gala will take place September 21, 2019. Tickets will go on sale about 45 to 60 days before the event. We will notify everyone on our e-Pupdate mailing list when ticket sales begin. (You can sign up for the e-Pupdate mailing list using the form at the bottom of this page.)
