Sugar & Spice
Presented by Daisy Mae Research
Sugar & Spice is Richmond Animal League's annual cocktail event and silent auction.
Sugar & Spice is not just an enchanting evening; it's a lifeline for animals in need. Sugar & Spice is an evening where compassion meets cocktails!
The 2025 event will feature live music, a silent and live auction, food, an open bar, and more- all to raise lifesaving funds for the pets who need us most.
Richmond Animal League is dedicated to providing hope, help, and loving homes to pets in need. Last year, RAL took in over 1,900 cats and dogs and provided over 6,900 spay & neuter surgeries, which would not have been possible without such amazing community support.
We hope you’ll join us for Sugar & Spice 2025 so that together we can make an even greater impact!
Small Art with Big Heart
Sugar & Spice is home to the ever-popular Small Art with Big Heart auction. Every year, participants have a chance to take home one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork. Each piece is made with love by members of our very own RVA community, including student art from local schools.
Many attendees have begun collecting these small artworks, typically 6x6 inches, adding a new piece to their collection every year at Sugar & Spice.
Want to contribute a piece of art? We are accepting art for the auction through January 31st. Email lauren@ral.org to get involved!
Sneak Peak: Sugar & Spice Live Auction
This year’s live auction is packed with incredible experiences you won’t want to miss! Picture yourself jetting off to Mexico, Iceland, Italy, or exploring the breathtaking Grand Canyon.
Have a furry friend who deserves the spotlight? Bid to make your cat or dog the Richmond Animal League Mascot for 2026!
And for beer enthusiasts, we’re thrilled to offer a Collaboration Brew Day with Väsen Brewing. Work alongside their team to craft a custom beer, name it (maybe after your pet?), and see proceeds from its sales support RAL’s lifesaving work.
