An Evening in Venice
Thanks to the overwhelming support form the community, this event is currently sold out.
On Saturday, September 9, 2023, Santa Barbara Humane will host its first SB Humane Gala from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. Proceeds from the event will help Santa Barbara Humane support thousands of dogs and cats and the people who love them.
The SB Humane Gala will raise much-needed funding that makes it possible to place pets into homes and offer critical resources like low-cost or free veterinary care and affordable dog training that keep animals out of the shelter system.
Guests will enjoy a Venetian-themed party with curated signature drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a delicious dinner sourced from local ingredients. The live tunes of The Academy will invite everyone to dance the night away.
