SPCA Westchester's "Tails of Hope Rescue Gala" raised more than $500,000 in one night, supporting the organization's mission to care for animals in need.

The event, held in the parking lot of the SPCA's facility, featured fine dining, a live auction, and a puppy cuddle station with adoptable pups.

SPCA Westchester relies on public support, needing approximately $3 million annually to operate.

Also, News 12’s Lisa LaRocca and Lisa Salvadorini received the Humanitarian of the Year Award for their contributions to the shelter.
