The San Francisco SPCA is celebrating 150 years of rescuing and caring for animals with a gala celebration on Wednesday, April 18 at San Francisco City Hall. Proceeds from the SF SPCA 150th Anniversary Celebration will provide essential support for the SF SPCA's lifesaving programs and Vision 2020, the organization's plan to end animal abandonment in San Francisco by the year 2020.
The formal attire affair, designed by Stanlee Gatti, will begin with a cocktail reception under the elegant rotunda in City Hall followed by a gourmet vegetarian dinner from McCall's with fine wines by Kelly Fleming Wines. The SF SPCA will be honoring California Governor Jerry Brown and former State Senator Mark Leno for their exceptional leadership in animal welfare and protection. The evening will also include entertainment by SFJAZZ Cats (High School All-stars) and American jazz and cabaret singer Paula West. In addition, Colusa, Gov. Jerry Brown's dog and LiLou, the SF SPCA's famous Animal Assisted Therapy program pig, will be on-hand to greet guests.
"We are awed and delighted to be celebrating our 150th anniversary," said President Jennifer Scarlett, DVM. "I am proud that the SF SPCA represents the spirit of our city - with strong values around compassion and seeking innovation. Our goal is to find a loving home for every animal and, thanks to our generous supporters, we are well on our way to achieving that."
Since its inception in 1868, the SF SPCA has been at the forefront of animal welfare. The SF SPCA is the fourth oldest humane society in the United States and created the No-Kill movement. In fact, no adoptable dog or cat in San Francisco goes without a home, even if they have medical or other issues. All of the SF SPCA's programs and services support at least one of its guiding principles: prevention, rescue and education.
The SF SPCA offers several programs to help end animal homelessness, including low cost veterinary care and spay/neuter services; rescue, adoption and foster services; behavior and training programs; and community education.
Individual tickets for the SF SPCA 150th Anniversary Celebration start at $1,000 while sponsorships start at $10,000. Both are available by calling 415-962-2501.
The SF SPCA wishes to thank corporate sponsor Pacific Office Automation.
