Magnificent, compassionate, and legendary animal lovers will come together in their finest black tie gowns n’ tuxedo’s to enjoy:

A three-course gourmet vegan dining experience, farm animal-inspired silent auction featuring the work of noted artists, a program of award presentations, guest speakers, and special performances (let’s just say prior years performers were Chrissie Hynde and The B52’s!) This inspiring evening will bring celebrity supporters, key legislators and animal advocates together to honor the beautiful animals and promote compassion.

To review – easy ways to help the animals:

I know this a cause which is very close to my readers hearts – one thing is for sure – you guys love animals. It promises to be a very special evening for the animals. Buy your tickets here.

· Purchase an ad in the gorgeous Gala Journal to get the word out about your fabulous company, or in honor/memory of a special person/animal.

· Donate what you can. If you can’t attend, I encourage you to make a special donation to support this important evening honoring farm animals.
