Can you believe it? The big day is practically here! On February 28, 2015, at 6:00 pm, GALT will hold the 2015 Greyt Athletes Dinner and Auction, Racing to Retirement!

This event will be GALT's largest fundraiser of the year and sets the stage for a successful 2015 filled with wonderful, heartwarming adoption stories. So, race to get your tickets today!
You'll be in good company. In addition to GALT volunteers, adopters, and supporters, the dinner features Jay Novacek, Retired Dallas Cowboy, with sports announcers Brady Tinker and John Rhadigan, and actor Burton Gilliam, most famous for his role in Blazing Saddles.

You'll also eat well! III Forks Restaurant will serve you its famous Chateaubriand or salmon (vegetarian entree also available) and your choice of lobster bisque or salad. The ticket price of $135 incudes two cocktail or beer tickets and a complimentary wine service throughout the evening.
You might also go home with goodies from the live and silent auctions. Some of the items which will be offered include:
- Seven nights in this private vacation home in beautiful Angel Fire, New Mexico.
|  |
- A suite for 20 at a Frisco Rough Riders game - includes parking, souvenir baseballs and mini-bats - a behind-the-scenes tour of the ballpark - a chance to be on the field during batting practice - and the honor of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch!
|  |
- A custom, original greyhound painting by Kathleen Coy (sample shown).
|  |
- A beautiful, large decorative charger plate
|  |
- And spa packages, gift baskets, restaurant gift cards and much, much more!
| |
Please also consider becoming an event sponsor! You can select from multiple levels of sponsorship to fit your budget. At the Honorarium Level, GALT will feature your hound on its website for a week as the "Honored Hound of the Week!" Read more about the Honoarium Level below.
This event is going to be an awesome evening out. Be sure to be there. Get your tickets, sign up as a sponsor, and read all about it on our website today!
