Raise the Woof: Animal Rescue Corps marks milestone anniversary

National nonprofit invites supporters to celebrate 15 years of lifesaving rescues and animal protection

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Animal Rescue Corps (ARC), a national nonprofit animal protection organization, invites supporters, volunteers and partner agencies to an anniversary benefit celebration marking 15 years of lifesaving work for animals in crisis. The event, Raise the Woof, will be held on Sunday, Nov. 2, at The Stage on Broadway, 412 Broadway, in downtown Nashville.

"Fifteen years ago, we set out to fill a gap we saw over and over again: animals suffering because there was no one equipped to help," said Tim Woodward, co-founder and executive director of ARC. "Since then, our teams have driven through the night to reach disaster zones, walked into heartbreaking cruelty cases and witnessed the transformation of animals who finally knew safety for the first time. This anniversary is not just a celebration of what we have done, it is a promise to keep going until every animal has a voice and a safe place to call home."

The 21-and-over event will feature live performances by Pam Tillis, Natalie Murphy, Annie Bosko, Allie Colleen, Sam Hunter, Chris Kroeze, Bobby Messano, Henry Particelli and a surprise special guest. Guests will enjoy plant-based food, drinks and an evening honoring 15 years of compassion in action. Tickets are $125 for VIP and $60 for general admission.

VIP admission includes an exclusive lounge hour from 4:30-5:30 p.m., reserved concert seating, specialty appetizers, two drink tickets, a meet and greet with ARC leadership and a commemorative gift bag. General admission will open at 5:30 p.m.

"Raise the Woof is more than a party, it's a moment to recognize everyone who has stood beside us in this mission," Woodward said. "We're celebrating 15 years of amazing volunteers, lifechanging donations and a team that has saved countless lives. Every rescue, every training and every life saved has been possible because people chose to care and to act."
