Upcoming Events

The San Francisco SPCA is honored to have the support of our community, and numerous businesses committed to supporting our mission. Visit this page often to learn about the fundraising initiatives dedicated members of our community host to benefit the mission of the SF SPCA.

Heart of Gold Gratitude Reception

Heart of Gold Society members are invited to join the San Francisco SPCA for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres as we give thanks and celebrate our past, present and future supporters.

The annual Gratitude Reception honors donors who contribute $1,000 or more annually, and this year we launched the first ever Heart of Gold Awards.

The awards honor donors who have made extraordinary contributions to the Society and will be presented in the following three categories:

Youth philanthropy: major donors aged 18 and under who contribute $1,000 or more.

Society Engagement: major donors who support the SPCA in at least three ways, as an adopter, a volunteer, a hospital client, and/or a member of our Legacy Society or Sido Program.

Partnership in Fundraising: major donors who help us educate the community, raise much needed funds, and invite their friends and colleagues to support our mission.

Please RSVP by May 10 to Jamie Holt at (415) 522-3548 or email jholt@sfspca.org.

For more information about The Heart of Gold Society, please contact Jill Jacobs, Major Gifts Manager, at (415) 522-3549 or email jjacobs@sfspca.org.

We hope to see you there!
