The ceremony, which is free and open to the public, is an emotional look back at Grace and Copper’s time in training and a snapshot of the bright futures that await them and their new teammates.

Following the ceremony, PAALS supporters will celebrate the night away with a Bollywood themed fundraising soiree. With Indian (and American) inspired cuisine, Bollywood dancers, drinks and music, guests can be sure to experience the exotic excitement and magic of Mumbai.

A highlight of the evening will be the live and silent auctions. The live auction will feature a weekend getaway in Pigeon Forge, exquisite diamond jewelry and an evening with a personal chef who will prepare dinner for you and another couple in your very own home. The silent auction is packed with more than 100 items.
