Former rescue dog, Maxwell, now in his forever home, along with current foster kitties Garth Brooks and Sebastian, are ready to join Homeless Pet Placement League (HPPL)’s Gala Co-Chairs Jennifer Devine, Vicki Stevenson and HPPL President, Eileen Akerson at HPPL’s fourth annual gala. The Ultimate “Tailgate” Party will be held on January 24, 2026, at the Sugar Creek Country Club in Sugar Land, Texas.
“This event is a casual, tail-gate attire event to celebrate the tireless efforts of our compassionate fosters, volunteers and community partners,” said Akerson. “Their lifesaving work would not be possible without the generosity of our kind donors and supporters.”
Funds raised at the gala will be used to support and expand HPPL’s programs and services in the community. Please consider lending a paw by attending this this casual “fan-favorite” event in your team colors and learning more about the important Mission of HPPL.
“Now, more than ever, we need your assistance as we strive to rescue, rehabilitate, foster and place homeless animals in forever homes. As you know, there is no greater love than that of a rescued animal,“ HPPL President Eileen Akerson shared.
