Dear John,

Last week, the Animal Legal Defense Fund hosted its first virtual fundraiser — an amazing evening where hundreds of supporters from across the country came together to protect the lives of animals.

Together we raised $250,000 in the fight for justice for animals!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this first annual event and to our leadership level donors and Host Committee members. We also want to again thank the Carol Petrie Foundation which received our first Leadership in Animal Protection Award for their support of our litigation and work in criminal justice. Their funding also enabled some of our key successes in our recent legislative efforts.

In every fight we take on for animals, we’re stronger when we work together. If you didn’t have a chance to join us last Thursday, you can still view the event and show your support. You can watch and make a donation through February 14th.

If you attended the event, please take a moment to complete a brief survey. Make sure to complete the survey by Friday, February 8th for a chance to win Animal Legal Defense Fund merchandise! 

After more than 40 years of protecting the lives and advancing the interests of animals through the legal system, we are more determined than ever to pursue justice for innocent animals. Thank you for making our work possible. We hope to see you again next year!

For the animals, 

Stephen Wells 
Executive Director
