The 2026 Fetch Pet Gala, held at The Carlyle Hotel in New York City, successfully raised over $750,000 for four animal rescue nonprofits. This event, hosted by Fetch Pet Insurance, pushed the gala's cumulative two-year fundraising total past $1.2 million. The gala featured performances by Cyndi Lauper, Ariana DeBose, Darren Criss, and Bernadette Peters, focusing on music and theatre to support animal welfare.
Adoptable dogs from North Shore Animal League America were a highlight, appearing on the "green carpet" with SATELLAI Collar Go devices. This initiative, supported by photographer Adam Goldberg of Stronger Shot, aimed to showcase shelter pets and facilitate adoptions. SATELLAI also committed to providing complimentary Collar Go devices to families adopting dogs from North Shore Animal League America, extending the gala's impact.
The $750,000 raised will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Barks, Wags and Walks, and North Shore Animal League America. These organizations focus on animal welfare and supporting those in need. The growing success of the Fetch Pet Gala underscores its establishment as a significant platform for animal rescue advocacy and fundraising in New York.
