If you’ve ever loved a pet, you know the comfort, joy, and healing they provide. We believe those benefits should be available to all.

Your support and attendance of this fundraiser help our community’s most vulnerable residents—including veterans, the elderly, domestic violence victims, and the homeless—with basic care for them and their beloved pets.

Our revolutionary programs have impacted over 150,000 pets and the people who need them most. Together, we will help even more.

We hope you will join us to make the 20th Annual HERO Awards our best yet!
