What a night! I am so grateful to have been part of the inaugural CAMP (Community Animal Medicine Project) LA Pet Gala on October 23 at the SmogShoppe in Culver City. This inspiring masquerade fundraiser brought together passionate pet lovers, community leaders, and advocates—all for the vital mission of making veterinary care accessible and affordable for pets and their families in Los Angeles. Together, we helped raise over $100,000 toward CAMP’s new South LA facility, providing much-needed spay, neuter, and basic veterinary services to thousands of pets each year.

Offering Animal Communication Mini Sessions in a Unique Setting

One of the highlights of the evening was connecting with so many of you and your pets through complimentary animal communication mini-sessions. Thank you to the thoughtful organizers, Ari and Erin, for arranging a quiet space: I had the pleasure of holding 10-minute sessions in a warm, private atmosphere. Despite the busy gala environment, each session felt meaningful, and it was so rewarding to see people’s responses to their pets’ messages. Many of you mentioned wanting to connect further, and I look forward to continuing those conversations in future sessions.

Celebrating CAMP’s Impact and Honoring Local Heroes

Throughout the evening, CAMP’s mission was front and center. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joined us briefly to thank CAMP and the Michelson Found Animals Foundation for their work in providing accessible veterinary care, especially with the ongoing animal shelter overcrowding crisis. The silent auction, where two of my full-length animal communication sessions were bid on and sold, also helped support CAMP’s mission.

It was a joy to be part of this event, connect with new friends, and support CAMP in its journey toward helping even more pets and families. Overall, it was a wonderful evening, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate in this incredible cause.

Looking Ahead

Reflecting on this night, I feel deeply inspired by the connections we created and the support for CAMP’s mission. I’ve already offered to join CAMP at future events, and I look forward to meeting more pet lovers and helping facilitate those special connections with their animals.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a session and joined in celebrating this important cause. I can’t wait to see what the future holds—and look forward to connecting with you and your pets again soon!

If you’re interested in staying involved with CAMP, their work continues, and they welcome support from the community. From donations to event sponsorships, each contribution goes a long way in helping pets across Los Angeles. For more information on how to get involved, visit CAMPLA’s website.
