The Forget-Me-Not Gala is the Brandywine Valley SPCA’s signature evening of generosity and celebration. This year’s Gatsby-inspired theme invites guests to don their finest pearls and sharpest suits for an unforgettable night featuring exquisite cuisine, flowing cocktails, live entertainment, adoptable pets, and extraordinary silent and live auctions.

Inspired by the grandeur of old New York, the evening will celebrate lives transformed through compassion and the hope of a brighter future for homeless animals. Together, we’ll share stories of hope, celebrate the impact made possible by our supporters, and look ahead to a future where every homeless animal has the chance to thrive.

Our exclusive VIP Speakeasy Experience has something for every fan! VIP guests will enjoy a one-of-a-kind evening with Philadelphia Eagles legends and SportsRadio 94 WIP voices Hugh Douglas, Ike Reese, and Jon Ritchie. This intimate experience offers the rare opportunity to mingle with three former Eagles icons as they share stories from the field, unforgettable memories, and their passion for the game.

We are thrilled to welcome special guest Jackson Galaxy to this year’s gala! Widely known as “The Cat Daddy,” Jackson is a renowned feline behavior expert, animal advocate, television personality, and two-time New York Times bestselling author who has spent more than 30 years improving the lives of cats and their people. Guests can secure a meet-and-greet with Jackson through our new VIP Speakeasy Experience!
