It was a day all about the doggies at the dazzling 5th Annual Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala, which took place on May 18 at The Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Whether it’s hosting a lovely day at the park during their World Dog Day event or a spectacular evening during their annual gala, Lisa Vanderpump and her Vanderpump Dog Foundation always host the most inspiring events furthering their mission to rescue and rehabilitate dogs both domestically and internationally. This year’s Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala was an extra special and highly-awaited one as it marked the first gala since COVID. And, what made it even more marvelous was a very special guest who attended… Lisa Vanderpump’s precious grandson, Teddy!
The outstanding event truly was a night to remember. It kicked off with a brilliant cocktail hour and silent auction. Then, attendees entered in the gorgeous ballroom decorated with stunning flowers and candelabras. Guests were treated to a wondrous night filled with delicious food, amazing, musical performances, celebrity speakers, and a terrific, live auction.
Renowned TV personality and actor, Mario Lopez, was the host with the most of the extraordinary gala.
Lopez shared his enthusiasm over hosting the event in his interview with AlexisJoyVIPAccess below.
The remarkable, multi-hyphenate Lisa Vanderpump doesn’t just talk the talk, she works tirelessly to help our beloved, four-legged friends find forever homes. Vanderpump and her Vanderpump Dog Foundation have and continue to make many efforts to help save dogs all over the world—from their Vanderpump Dog Rescue Center in West Hollywood, to their recent initiatives including the Emergency Medical Fund, the Vanderpump Nursery and their Vanderpump Veterans Program. Lisa Vanderpump also shared an update at the gala on a second Vanderpump Dog Foundation shelter in China that houses hundreds of dogs saved from the dog meat trade. Through her foundation, the ravishing Lisa Vanderpump has helped over 2,500 dogs get adopted into loving families.
The exceptional night continued with a breathtakingly beautiful performance from consummate actress and unrivaled performer, Kristin Chenoweth. The Tony & Emmy Award winner left everyone speechless as she performed not just one, but three, fantastic songs at the Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala.
The incredibly talented violinist, Lindsey Stirling, also gave a magnificent performance at the event. Trixie Mattel had a sensational time taking on the stage for a memorable performance.
A countless amount of terrific celebrities attended the 5th Annual Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala including the legendary Paula Abdul, Lance Bass and Michael Turchin, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell, actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais, Steve-O, Jon Lovitz, Evan Antin, and Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Schwartz, James Kennedy, Ally Lewber, Lala Kent and Peter Madrigal.
The 5th Annual Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala had an excellent turnout and was a great success. The gala truly was back and better than ever; and although the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t make it easy, nothing could stop the Vanderpump Dog Foundation from the great impact it continues to make on the lives of thousands of doggos.
The one and only Lisa Vanderpump is one to admire. She’s a restaurant mogul, a reality TV queen, a stupendous mom and a wonderful grandma. Aside from running several hotspot restaurants, including her newest one, Vanderpump à Paris, located at the Paris Las Vegas casino hotel, the lovely Lisa Vanderpump also has her own collection of alcoholic drinks including her Vanderpump Rosé, her Vanderpump Wines (which includes her Vanderpump Chardonnay and Vanderpump Cabernet), and her Vanderpump Sangria.
There’s no one quite like Lisa Vanderpump. She’s built an unmatched empire and she continues to take over the world by storm. The unparalleled Vanderpump uses her platform to make a great difference in the lives of many. She’s a true superwoman in every way.
