Question 8

How will attending the Pet Gala help animals?

Accepted Answer

Supporting the Community Animal Medicine Project’s Pet Gala presents a unique and momentous opportunity to contribute to CAMP’s capital campaign. This one-time, significant fundraising endeavor will ensure the future of affordable and accessible veterinary care in Los Angeles with the opening of our new state-of-the-art CAMP clinic and Veterinary Training Project facility, set to launch in 2025.

CAMP has built the foundation of non-profit, high-quality veterinary care in Los Angeles since 2007. We have performed over 300,000 spay/neuter surgeries and currently provide veterinary services to over 80,000 pets annually, predominantly in historically excluded communities. However, the increasing demand for our services, coupled with the limitations of our leased facilities, has highlighted the need for a permanent, centralized location.

We have secured the necessary funds for the purchase and initial build-out of our new clinic, which is underway. However, we still need to raise $600,000 to cover essential expenses such as state-of-the-art veterinary equipment, furnishings, and community outreach efforts. This additional funding will ensure we can provide top-notch care and services to even more pets and families in need. We anticipate this new CAMP clinic located in South Los Angeles will help 10,000 animals a year.

Your support through supporting the Pet Gala on October 23, 2024, will make a significant impact on our ability to fulfill this vision. Supporting the Pet Gala will not only support the construction of our new facility but also help build a healthier and safer community.

Our vision includes:
Affordable Care: Expanding our capacity to provide quality, low-cost veterinary services to families who cannot access mainstream care.
Accessibility: Reducing barriers to care through training veterinarians in much-needed surgical skills, and, for the families we serve, providing financial support, shorter wait times for appointments, bilingual Spanish and telehealth options, and more.
Inclusivity: Creating a welcoming environment for all community members through culturally competent practices and increasing the diversity within the veterinary profession.

We hope you will join us in making our vision a reality! Thank you.
