Throughout the year, special events connect the community with the mission and the residents. All ticket proceeds directly support daily care and lifelong protection.
These gatherings offer a meaningful way to deepen understanding of sanctuary life while supporting the individuals at the heart of this work.

8TH ANNUAL THANKSLIVING
November 14, 2026
1pm - 5pm, at FCFS
This is the longest-running and most anticipated special event of the year—and the largest on-site fundraiser supporting lifelong care for sanctuary residents.
A ticket supports the sanctuary and the individuals who call it home, while offering a thoughtfully curated experience made possible by generous mission-aligned partners. Guests enjoy a bountiful, fully vegan buffet; time to explore the sanctuary; activities; a silent auction; a joyful pumpkin party for the pigs; and a special meal for the turkeys honoring their lives.
Each ticket includes a signature swag bag filled with high-quality, mission-aligned items donated by compassionate partners.
As with all events, every dollar raised goes directly back to the residents and the sanctuary.
This event has sold out three years in a row—get your tickets fast!
