As always for Thanksgiving, we will start the evening on the terrace drinking warm apple cider spiked with Wild Turkey Bourbon (of course there will be a virgin version) during a VIP reception with the turkey girls and some fantastic turkey loving folks:

More folks being announced every day!
The big party will start at 6pm with cocktails and photo ops with Tracey and Ellie, the world’s cuddiest turkeys, who will be officially pardoned by their own Assemblymember Richard Bloom. Assemblymember Bloom is responsible for the California bill that put pressure on SeaWorld to end orca breeding and for many other animal and environmentally friendly pieces of legislation. We are thrilled to have him with us.
We’ll have awards for fantastic activists:
Kezia Jauron and Gary Smith of Evolotus,
Elaine Livesay Fassel as a DawnWatch star activist
Susan Weingartner, currently of Mercy for Animals, with an extraordinary activism history.
We will present our first ever media award to ABC Producer Elaine Sloane.
We will fill you in on the exciting projects that DawnWatch is raising money for. Perhaps most exciting is the upcoming DawnWatch media awards gala noted below!
Then we’ll have a scrumptious vegan feast and drink and dance the night away with new friends – all of whom are friends of DawnWatch and animals!
It’s going to be a night to remember and one we hope you can join us. Tickets will go on sale, right here, at the end of July.
