At Paws and Stripes, our mission is to provide animal-assisted therapy and other mental health services to military veterans and their loved ones living with service-connected trauma. We provided over 3,000 hours of mental health therapy in 2020 and graduates of our programs report a 50% reduction of symptoms related to their disability. This year we return to hosting our 8th Annual Celebration of Heroes graduation and gala! The purpose is to recognize the hard work of veterans and their service dogs in graduating from our program and to raise funds to support our mission.

This heart-warming event will take place on April 30th at the Albuquerque Sheraton Uptown. The night begins with a cocktail hour and silent auction at 5:00pm. The silent auction will remain open throughout the evening and the excitement of the live auction will occur during the scheduled program.

We are seeking your generous support through the donation of auction item(s) to assist with fundraising efforts towards our mission. Our event is expected to draw 350 supporters all of whom will be exposed to these auction items and therefore providing you with advertising and recognition as a donor (283 tickets sold to date with 60 days remaining).
