Tropical Paws fundraiser returns
After a two-year pandemic pause, Tropical Paws returns to raise much-needed funds for shelter animals at the Hawaii Island Humane Society’s 24th annual Tropical Paws benefit gala.
As Hawaii Island’s most memorable event for the animals, Tropical Paws takes place on Friday at theFour Seasons Resort Hualalai. The dynamic husband and wife team of Guy Hagi and Kim Gennaula will once again serve as the evening’s emcees.
Tropical Paws gets underway at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception and continues with a gourmet dinner and a silent and live auction. Shelter animals will also be on hand to win over the hearts of guests along with a photo station to capture the night with a keepsake photo.
Tickets for Tropical Paws are $235 per person or $3,000 for a reserved table of eight. Limited tickets are now on sale online at hih.org.
Sponsor packages are also available and detailed at hihs.org.
