‍

It’s time to celebrate a very special birthday — and make a difference for animals in our community at the same time! Kenadie St. James is marking a milestone this year, and instead of gifts, she’s giving back. After years of laughter, love, and generous support from friends and family, she’s throwing a Charity Gala in support of the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA — and you’re invited to join the party! This unforgettable evening combines all the best things in life: delicious food, fabulous entertainment, exciting prizes, and a whole lot of heart. It’s a celebration with a purpose — helping animals get the care, shelter, and second chances they deserve.

What to Expect:

A Delectable Culinary Experience

Kick things off with a light buffet featuring an array of fresh salads, cheeses, charcuterie, and bruschetta. Enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres that highlight the creativity of the gourmet team at Southcote 53 — including arancini, mushroom caps, prime rib bites, satays, quiche, and more.

Signature Cocktails at the Cash Bar

Sip on custom-crafted cocktails designed just for the gala while mingling with fellow animal lovers.

A Sparkling Drag Show

At 8:00pm, get ready to be dazzled! Beloved drag performers Macy Manolo and Katinka Kature will take the stage in a show full of glitz, glam, and pure joy. Expect high-energy performances and unforgettable moments.

Silent Auction - Bid for the Animals

Place your bids in an exciting silent auction filled with unique, curated items and experiences. Every bid helps fund critical programs at the HBSPCA — from medical care and shelter to adoption and community outreach. The auction is your chance to give generously and go home with something wonderful, knowing your contribution is changing lives.

Special Guests from the HBSPCA

Meet a few of the furry friends your generosity supports. Our team will be on-site to share how your donations help pets find safety, healing, and loving homes — and how you can get involved in our mission.

‍

Whether you come for the food, the fun, or the fabulous drag, you’ll leave knowing you made a real difference. All proceeds from the gala, including cash donations, will go directly to the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA and the animals we serve.

So bring your sparkle, your dancing shoes, and your best party vibes — and help us end the weekend on a high note. You don’t have to dress to the nines, but hey, it’s a gala… so why not shine? It’s a night to celebrate, connect, and contribute. Because when we come together, we can give more animals the love and future they deserve.

Last year, Kenadie’s birthday gala raised an incredible $3,000 for the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA—proving that one night of celebration can make a big impact for animals in need. This year, the event is set to be even bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable, with more guests, more entertainment, and even more heart. Let’s top last year and make an even greater difference together!

We can’t wait to see you there — for the animals, for the party, and for Kenadie St. James!
