Now in its 17th year, Men of the Desert has grown into one of the Coachella Valley’s most celebrated philanthropic traditions, a sold-out afternoon of fashion, laughter, and generosity that in 2025 drew more than 500 guests and raised nearly $300,000 for Animal Samaritans’ life-saving programs. Over the event’s history, funds raised have helped save the lives of more than 17,000 animals in the desert region.
