Our Purpose

An extraordinary evening of purpose and performance to raise funds for pets and their people in need. At Fetch, we recognize that many lack access to the basic essentials needed to care for their pets. We are committed to changing that.

Building on the overwhelming success of our inaugural gala, which raised more than $600,000 to provide critical funding for medical care, adoption and support services, the 2026 Fetch Pet Gala will once again bring together the generosity of our donors and partners with our one-of-a-kind host, Broadway legend Bernadette Peters, and an exciting lineup of talent joining her for the main event.

Together, we’ll fuel the lifesaving work of three nonprofit beneficiaries serving thousands of pets and their people in urgent need — with an ambitious goal of raising $750,000 to expand that impact even further.
