An Evening of Rescue, Hope, & Second Chances.
Every rescue has a story.
Every story begins with hope.
Join the Okanagan Humane Society for Tails of Hope presented by Touchstone Law Group LLP, an unforgettable evening dedicated to giving vulnerable animals a second chance. More than a gala, this is a celebration of compassion, community, and the incredible lives that can be transformed when people come together for animals in need.
A Heartwarming Welcome
Your evening begins with a Champagne Reception, proudly sponsored by DKL Financial Group, where you’ll enjoy delicious appetizers, live music, and the opportunity to bid on exclusive event-only silent auction packages. Capture the memories with friends at our fun photo booth before experiencing one of the most meaningful moments of the evening, meeting some of the remarkable OHS animals whose lives have been forever changed through rescue.
Hear their heartwarming stories of survival, healing, and hope, and discover firsthand how your support makes these life-saving rescues possible.
A Magical Evening Awaits
We’ll then move into the ballroom for an exceptional interactive dining experience beginning with an elegant Amuse-Bouche, thoughtfully paired with award-winning local Okanagan wines.
Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy an inspired culinary journey while celebrating the impact of animal rescue in our community.
Hosted by Global Okanagan’s Klaudia Van Emmerik and Sun FM’s DJ BMack, the evening will feature inspiring stories, exciting live and online auctions, and unforgettable moments that will remind us why every animal deserves a chance at a better life.
When the time comes to Unleash Your Love, you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct, life-saving gift during our special Fund-a-Need presentation. Every donation will help provide urgent veterinary care, rescue, rehabilitation, spay and neuter services, and second chances for animals throughout the Okanagan. All eligible gifts will receive a charitable tax receipt.
Then, once we’ve changed lives together, we’ll celebrate by dancing the night away with DJ BMack!
Every ticket purchased. Every bid placed. Every gift given.
Together, they create hope for thousands of animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Join us for an evening that will touch your heart, inspire your spirit, and help write the next chapter in an animal’s rescue story.
Because every tail deserves a happy ending.
This unforgettable evening like this can only be made possible by the generosity of our sponsors – businesses that care deeply about animals and our community.
