Join Minnesota’s largest animal rescue, The Bond Between for a night of inspiration, incredible food, and heartwarming stories. This is more than just a gala—it’s the most anticipated fundraising event of the year, all centered around celebrating and supporting the incredible bonds people and animals share.

What to Expect?

Imagine stepping onto the red carpet, sipping a specialty cocktail, and settling in for an amazing and unique seated dinner. Throughout the evening, you'll hear beautiful stories of rescue, get a chance to meet some adorable puppies, and learn more about the profound impact of The Bond Between's work. The night culminates with an exciting live auction, offering unique opportunities to support a vital cause.

A Mission Worth Celebrating

Since 2009, The Bond Between has been tirelessly working to save the lives of animals and inspire change, rescuing over 34,000 at-risk animals! Bone Appetit is a crucial fundraising event that directly fuels this mission, allowing the organization to take on the most challenging cases, including extensive surgery, prolonged therapy, and hospice care that are hard to afford without your support!
