Our Annual Gala is an unforgettable evening dedicated to advancing mental health and community wellbeing through the human-animal bond. Bringing together our ambassadors, community leaders, advocates, and animal lovers, this special night raises critical funds for programs that support emotional wellness, connection, and healing through pets. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps expand access to compassionate, animal-assisted support for those who need it most.
WHAT'S NEW

Lily & Dexter’s Legacy Boxes are thoughtfully curated care packages filled with special goodies for pets and their people. You can purchase a box to enjoy with your own pet, or choose to donate one to a family going through a difficult time.
Donated boxes are gifted to children in hospital or to families with loved ones living with ALS, bringing comfort, connection, and a little joy during challenging moments.
Every box helps continue Lily and Dexter’s legacy of compassion by sharing kindness with pets and the people who love them. 🐾
