by | Events

The FACE Foundation hosts inaugural San Diego Animal Hero Awards, Saturday, Aug. 19 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at BRICK at Liberty Station.

Guests and supporters will enjoy an evening with live music, local cuisine by Toast, fine wines, pet portraits, photo booths, live and silent auctions, and opportunity drawings. The event will save local pets in need of life-saving emergency veterinary care, while celebrating our community’s animal heroes.

The first local gala event of its kind, San Diego Animal Hero Awards will recognize and honor the contributions of animals and their advocates in seven categories:

  1. Veterinary Industry
  2. Service Animals
  3. Working Animals
  4. Vanguard Award
  5. For-profit Animal Business of the Year
  6. Not-For-Profit, Rescue or Humane Society
  7. Animaltarian Award

San Diegans are invited to nominate an Animal Hero – an animal, individual or business.

Following the trophy presentation for each category, the main award – The San Diego Animal Hero – will be selected among the honorees. The winner will receive a $5,000 check made out to the San Diego County animal charity of their choice.

The community is also welcome to attend the event. Tickets are $275 and include a red-carpet entrance (cocktail attire recommended), three-course dinner with wine service, outdoor reception and bar in a beautiful, historic, and iconic San Diego location, and so much more. To register, visit wwwsandiegoanimalheroawards.org/rsvp.

This gala fundraiser will directly benefit pets facing economic euthanasia – a reality that occurs when families are unable to afford life-saving treatment for their critically injured or ill pet. FACE is proud to be there to provide financial assistance and resources to families in need of a helping hand during these veterinary emergencies. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, FACE has saved more than 3,760 lives to date.
