Tails of Hope Fundraiser for SBC Animal Services with Bo Derek and John Corbett
Calling All Animal Lovers! Join us on Saturday, September 21 at Elings Park from 2-5 p.m. for the Tails of Hope Fundraiser to support Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS)!
On Sunday, September 21, from 2-5pm, the main field at Elings Park will be home to “Tails of Hope,” a first-ever countywide fundraiser to benefit Santa Barbara County Animal Services. Animal advocates John Corbett(“Sex & the City,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) and Bo Derek (“10,” “Tommy Boy”) will welcome hundreds of guests to an afternoon of fun in the sun.
Attendees will be treated to wines from La Lieff Winery, beer from Draughtsman Ale, and nibbles from Pure Joy Catering and Alessia Patisserie. There will be a performance by the Bubble Guy, live acoustic music, shelter dogs to meet, silent auction shopping, non-profit partner booths, and a special program hosted by Mr. Corbett and Ms. Derek.
“As long-time animal lovers, Bo and I are delighted to help bring attention to Santa Barbara County Animal Services and the critical work that they do helping thousands of animals in our county each year,” says Mr. Corbett. “Not only have we adopted from their shelters, but we support their work helping every kind of animal, from rabbits to horses and more, as well as pet owners who might be struggling to care for their animals. We are excited to celebrate their work and look forward to sharing Tails (and tales!) of Hope on September 21st!”
Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) is the largest animal welfare agency in the region, taking in more than 6000 animals each year: dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fowl, reptiles, even the occasional goat. SBCAS staff responds to cruelty complaints of all kinds, from horses to roosters to family pets; assists with animals in natural disasters; responds to wildlife in distress; hosts pet pantries to assist struggling pet owners; and much more. SBCAS depends heavily on non-profit partner support to meet the needs of so many animals, ensuring that they get the care they need. SBCAS is part of the Santa Barbara County Health Department, which turns 100 years old this year.
All proceeds will go to the Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation (SBCACF), a 501c3 which partners with SBCAS to raise much needed funds for veterinary care, outreach programs, capital improvements, and more. All sponsorship and ticket donations are fully tax deductible to the limit allowed by law.
