Dear Rescue Friend,
As we prepare for this year’s Gala, I find myself thinking less about the event itself and more about what we are actually gathering to celebrate. Twenty years.
It is almost impossible for me to wrap my head around those words. Twenty years ago, H.A.L.O. was little more than a tiny seed of a concept… a belief that there had to be a better way. That homeless animals deserved more and that saving them was possible if enough people were willing to care, work, sacrifice and believe alongside us. I could never have imagined what that little seed would become.
Today, it is a beautiful representation of an incredibly caring community that stood behind this mission year after year. And somehow, after twenty years the mission only feels stronger. We have grown. We have learned.
We have faced heartbreaking days and celebrated extraordinary victories. On November 14, we will come together to celebrate this remarkable milestone. And while I know it will be an incredible evening, what excites me most is having the opportunity to look around and see so many of the people who helped make these twenty years possible.
H.A.L.O.’s story was never written by one person. It has been written by every adopter who opened their home, every foster who said “yes,” every volunteer who gave their time, every employee who poured their heart into this work, every veterinarian and community partner who fought beside us, and every donor who believed an animal they may never meet was worth saving.
Twenty years. More than 23,500 lives. One mission that continues.
Believing in Miracles,
