The event is AGA’s major fundraiser for the year and helps help raise additional dollars for Adopt a Golden Atlanta's growing need for funds to support rescued golden retrievers. “In today's economy we are seeing a significant increase in the numbers of dogs becoming homeless,” said Lauren Genkinger, AGA founder. Adopt a Golden Atlanta is the second largest rescue organization in the U.S. dedicated solely to golden retrievers.
Gala tickets are $125 and are available through the AGA website, www.adoptagoldenatlanta.com. Tickets are available for advance purchase only; tickets are not sold at the door.
