$125 per person includes a seated three-course dinner with choice of III Fork’s famous chateaubriand or salmon. Two beer/wine tickets are included with a cash bar available throughout the evening.

GALT is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit all-volunteer group dedicated to placing all greyhounds, primarily those that competed and trained for racing, and sight hounds into loving homes. GALT facilitates the adoption of greyhounds by providing kennel services and foster homes along with their medical needs, including spay and neuter, assisting them in the transition from track-life to home-life, and educating the public about why the greyhound has been a favored companion dog for more than 4,000 years.
