Dear Jourdan Zebraa,
We’re writing with a quick update: Art of PAWS & People will now take place on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at the Gatsby Ballroom from 7:00–10:00 PM.
Changing the date wasn’t an easy decision, but it allows us the space to show up fully and give this night the care and attention it deserves. We’re grateful for your understanding, and even more grateful for the chance to celebrate with you on this new date. If you’ve already purchased tickets, no worries, they will automatically transfer to November 1.
Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring a curated art auction, catering by Orlando’s, open bars, and the kind of connection and energy that make this night so meaningful. Most importantly, every moment supports the PAWS program and the vital services Vivent Health provides.
This year carries even more weight as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Vivent Health St. Louis (formerly St. Louis Effort for AIDS), the 35th anniversary of the PAWS program, and the 22nd anniversary of Art of PAWS & People. These milestones remind us not only of the challenges and victories that have shaped our work, but also of the constant way the community shows up for one another.
How to Get Involved
Events like this are possible because so many people choose to show up in different ways. Whether you:

…every action fuels the mission and strengthens the community we share.

We can’t wait to gather with you on November 1 to honor our shared history, resilience, and the bright future we’re building together.
With warmth and gratitude,
Todd A.& Greg L.
