Special Holiday Partnership
The SF SPCA has partnered with Cirque du Soleil ECHO to spread holiday cheer beyond Union Square. Through this collaboration, theatergoers can save 25% on tickets, and for every ticket purchased through this offer, $3 will be donated to the SF SPCA to support our lifesaving work for animals.
“The holidays should be a time of joy for every animal, not just those already in homes. Our 39-year partnership with Macy’s Union Square transforms window shopping into lifesaving action,” said Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, CEO of the SF SPCA. “Between our iconic Holiday Windows and KTVU and FOX LOCAL on 2’s toy drive on December 13, our community has multiple ways to make a difference. Whether through adoption, toy donations, or simply spreading the word, together we can rewrite these animals’ stories before the year ends.”
Name Your Price Adoptions
As Union Square becomes a festive destination for the holiday season, the Holiday Windows emphasizes the importance of adoption for families considering welcoming a new furry companion. To help more than 500 animals get adopted this holiday season, the SF SPCA will have Name Your Price adoptions for all animals over 5 months old throughout the entire holiday period. Those looking for a new best friend can view adoptable animals at sfspca.org/adopt.
The SF SPCA is grateful for the support of our generous Holiday Windows corporate sponsors, including Fetch, Nestle Purina PetCare Company, and KPMG.
