SUMMARY:Journey Home 2026 Gala
DESCRIPTION:Journey Home 2026 Gala\n	 \n\n	Date & Time:\n			June 5\, 2026\n	 @\n5:30 pm\n	 –\n10:00 pm\n																																				\n									Become a Sponsor\n					\n														\n									Purchase Tickets\n					 \nBecause every pet deserves a chance to go home\nKeeping Families Together\nThe Pieper Olson Foundation exists to provide financial assistance to families facing urgent veterinary emergencies. When a beloved pet needs critical care and cost becomes a barrier\, we step in — working directly with our trusted veterinary partner to help bridge the gap. Our mission is simple: no family should have to say goodbye solely because they can’t afford treatment. \nAn Evening That Changes Outcomes\nThe Journey Home Gala is more than an evening of celebration — it directly fuels lifesaving veterinary care for families in crisis. Every ticket purchased\, every sponsorship secured\, and every paddle raised helps bridge the financial gap between urgent diagnosis and needed treatment. Together\, we ensure that when a family hears difficult news\, cost doesn’t have the final word. \nMoments That Matter\nBehind every grant is a family navigating difficult news and urgent decisions. Our impact is measured not only in dollars given\, but in suffering eased\, lives stabilized\, and the quiet relief that comes when help arrives. \n  \n“Because behind every grant is a family holding their breath\,\nhoping for a way forward.”\n		Become A 2026 Gala Sponsor And Partner With Purpose \n \nSponsoring the Journey Home Gala is more than supporting an event — it is an investment in compassionate\, lifesaving veterinary care for families in crisis.

Normally full of energy and appetite\, she suddenly refused food and began to grow weak. Testing revealed an obstruction\, and when her condition worsened\, emergency surgery became her only chance at survival.\nThe cost was overwhelming — but saying goodbye wasn’t an option.\nWith support from the Pieper Olson Foundation\, Willow received the surgery she needed. Today\, she is back home\, recovering comfortably and returning to the joyful\, loving companion her family rescued years ago. \n\nTiffany’s Second Chance\nOne quiet afternoon\, Tiffany leapt from her mother’s lap and landed wrong\, breaking her leg. What first seemed like a routine injury became far more serious when her bones shifted and would no longer heal properly.\nThe recommended solution — amputation — would relieve her pain and give her the best chance at a full\, active life. But the cost of surgery and follow-up care felt insurmountable.\nWith assistance from the Pieper Olson Foundation\, Tiffany received the care she needed. Today\, she is healing comfortably and learning to move forward with confidence — proof that resilience often comes on four legs. \nJoin us for an Evening of Impact\nJoin us for a meaningful evening dedicated to keeping families and their pets together. Your attendance directly supports urgent veterinary care for those facing unexpected medical crises. \n[show_tickets] \nYour ticket includes an evening of connection\, fine dining\, and meaningful engagement — all in support of urgent veterinary care for families in need. \nCocktail Hour | Dinner | Silent & Live Auctions | Mission Program \n2026 Journey Home Gala Sponsors\n  \n\npresenting sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nfamily support sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n \n\nhope and healing sponsor\n\n \n  \n  \n\ncompassion sponsor\n\n \n \n  \n  \n\nshared moments sponsor\n\n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\ncommunity care sponsor\n\n \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n  \n\nin-kind sponsors\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n\n\n					 What is the attire?\n			\n			\n						\nCocktail or formal attire is encouraged. \n\n\n\n					 Where is the event held?\n			\n			\n						\nSaybrook Point Resort & Marina\, Two Bridge Street\, Old Saybrook\, Connecticut  06475 \n\n\n\n					 Is there parking at the venue?\n			\n			\n						\nSaybrook Point Resort & Marina offers free self-parking for guests\, including electric car charging stations. \n\n\n\n					 Is my ticket tax-deductible?\n			\n			\n						\nThe tax-deductible portion of each ticket is the amount paid above the fair market value of goods and services received (including dinner and event benefits).
