It's that spooky time of year again, where Houston's animal lovers don their best costumes and put their best fundraising foot forward to help the community's dogs, cats, birds, horses, and more.
The Houston SPCA's annual Howl-O-Ween Ball is happening Friday, October 25, and will offer guests an evening filled with cocktails, dinner, dancing, and live and silent auctions.
All money raised supports the Houston SPCA’s mission of improving and protecting the lives of local animals and alleviating their suffering and abuse.
This year's raffle presents a one in 250 chance to win a remarkable necklace from the de Boulle Collection featuring a stunning, 7.90 carat pendeloque pink tourmaline.

Set in 18K white gold, the center pendant is surrounded by glittering diamonds. The chain also features rose cut diamonds. All in all, the necklace is valued at a whopping $10,000.
