Don’t Miss Jefferson Starship and the Best DOG-GONE Auctions!

Good news! We are moving forward with the Blocktail Sponsor Party on Monday, June 7, featuring a private concert by the legendary Jefferson Starship and live & silent auctions with items specially procured for our sponsors. The bad news is that we are beyond heartbroken to have to cancel BISSELL Blocktail Party on June 8, our biggest annual fundraiser, but we are excited that you can still enjoy the incredible Blocktail silent auction online–you won’t want to miss it!
