### The Party That Saves Lives You know those nights out that feel good for about five minutes, then you wake up wondering why you spent $80 on cocktails you barely remember? This isn't one of those nights. VICE IS NICE 2025 is back, and it's the kind of party where every dollar you spend goes straight to saving animals in need. For 14 years now, this event has been a staple in both the adult and mainstream industries. It brings together animal lovers, poker champs, and people who just want to dance for a cause. Hosted by Kelly Holland, VICE IS NICE benefits The Animal Rescue Alliance (TARA), a nonprofit that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes animals who've had a rough start. ### What to Expect at Rancho Providencia The party kicks off at 6:30 PM on July 25th at Rancho Providencia, located at 10945 Old Santa Susana Pass Road in Chatsworth. It's a beautiful venue that sets the stage for an evening you won't forget. Here's what's on tap: - A poker tournament starting at 8 PM with a $75 buy-in that gets you into the event - Raffles with prizes you'll actually want to win - A DJ spinning tracks that'll keep you on the dance floor - Tarot readings (because why not see what the cards say about your future?) - Cocktails and vegan food and desserts ### Pricing and Entry Details General admission is $35 if you grab your ticket in advance, or $45 at the door. That gets you access to all the entertainment, music, dancing, and the full party experience. Food, drinks, and raffle tickets are sold separately, so bring some extra cash if you want to indulge. Important note: You must be 21 or older to attend. And while this celebration is all about helping animals, please leave your own furry friends at home for the night. Trust me, they'll forgive you. ### Why This Event Matters "Every year, the event gets bigger because it's about community," says Kelly Holland, VICE IS NICE host and founder of The Animal Rescue Alliance. "Every dollar raised goes directly to the rescue efforts, medical care, foster program, and lifesaving work for animals in need. Plus, it's a fun evening that's well attended by the industry and beyond. If you can't attend, think about sponsoring the event or donating." She's not kidding about the impact. Over the years, this single night has funded countless rescues, vet bills, and foster placements. It's proof that a good party can actually change lives. ### How to Get Involved If you want to attend, register for the poker tournament, become a sponsor, or just donate, head over to the ticketing page at [zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/party-with-a-purr-pose](https://zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/party-with-a-purr-pose) (nofollow).
