The Washington Animal Rescue League’s largest fundraising event of the year, The Rescue Me Gala took place at Union Station on Saturday, April 24, 2010. This elegant cocktail reception brings more than 500 animal-loving individuals and companies, along with their canine friends, together at historic Union Station. The 2010 Rescue Me Gala supports our efforts to promote the welfare of companion animals and assist the people who love them through animal rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and affordable veterinary care.
