About our Esteemed Honorees

The Robert and Erika Brunson Fund

Robert and Erika Brunson have been trailblazers in animal welfare for over 50 years, funding numerous life-saving efforts including SPAY4LA, a mobile clinic providing high-quality spay/neuter surgeries and low-cost vaccines in Los Angeles. Their work, in partnership with Michelson Found Animals, has saved thousands of animals’ lives. Erika was a pioneer, serving as a commissioner on the Los Angeles Board of Animal Regulation and founding the Coalition for Pets & Public Safety. She played a crucial role in increasing spay/neuter procedures to combat overpopulation and reduce euthanasia rates.

In 2003, Los Angeles shelters euthanized 30,000 animals annually due to unchecked breeding and lack of spay/neuter resources. Dr. Gary K. Michelson created a network of low-cost clinics, supported by Michelson Found Animals' $11 million in grants, to address this crisis. Thanks to these efforts, the save rate for dogs in LA City shelters has been over 90% for several years. The Robert & Erika Brunson Fund, established to honor their legacy, continues to support animal welfare and ensure animals are placed in loving homes.

Dr. Gary K. Michelson and Alya Michelson

Dr. Gary Michelson and Alya Michelson are a dynamic husband/wife duo whose life focus is on their philanthropy and helping to benefit people, pets and our planet. Dr. Gary K. Michelson started the Michelson Found Animals Foundation in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, establishing the first free pet microchip registry to help every lost pet find their way home. In the 15 years since, Found Animals has identified important problems facing pets and people and developed real-world, scalable solutions to help them thrive. Awarding the historic $1 Million Grant to CAMP on World Spay Day in support of the build out of CAMP’s new South Los Angeles clinic is just one of an endless number of ways they have bolstered the community. Please see their official bios to learn about their vast contributions to society.
