Animal Acres Gala, September 11th
The Animal Acres 2010 Gala will be held on Saturday, September 11th at the Animal Acres Sanctuary and Compassionate Living Center in Acton, CA. The sanctuary is located on a beautiful 26-acre hacienda-style ranch, just 40 minutes from Hollywood.
The festivities will begin at 5:00 pm with the "Cowtail Party", where celebrity hosts, award recipients, and Gala guests meet and mingle with the sanctuary's "guests of honor" - over 150 rescued cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, sheep and goats. Gala guests will then gather in the sanctuary courtyard to enjoy a gourmet dinner sponsored by One World Vegetarian Cuisine.

The evening's program will include entertainment and awards which honor individuals and corporations who have made outstanding contributions through their commitment to the cause of protecting farmed animals and promoting compassionate living choices. Awards are presented by our celebrity hosts. This year's Gala Awardees include: Jain Community of Southern California, Carol Leifer, Masako Maxwell, and Melissa Witul. Please click here for further information on this year's award recipients. The evening also includes a fabulous silent auction, musical and special guest entertainment, and more!
All proceeds from the Gala will benefit the organization's emergency rescue and shelter programs to provide feed, housing, and veterinary care for suffering farmed animals. This is our most important benefit of the year - please help us keep our doors open for more suffering farmed animals by attending this special celebration of compassion for ALL.
