Jacksonville Humane Society hosts 24th annual “Toast to the Animals”
The Jacksonville Humane Society (JHS) celebrated its 24th annual “Toast to the Animals” — touted as Jacksonville’s “premier charitable tasting event” — on Wednesday, Nov. 9.
Originally scheduled for September this year, the event was postponed because of Hurricane Ian and moved to last month.
This year, the event recognized and celebrated “Jacksonville Philanthropist and former JHS Board Chair, Kristine Cherek and Kirk Larsen,” both of whom have “have made an indelible impact on the lives of countless people and animals, thanks to their support of the Jacksonville Humane Society and other charitable organizations.”
Additionally, the evening recognized the society’s “Kitten Krusaders” — veterinary partners, including VCA All Animal Hospital of Orange Park, San Marco Animal Hospital, Mandarin Animal Hospital, Your Home Vet, First Coast No More Homeless Pets and Durbin Creek Animal Hospital, that work with JHS to place kittens with Good Samaritans rather than surrendering them to a shelter.
The event was held at the TIAA Bank Field in downtown Jacksonville. All proceeds from the evening will benefit the JHS Medical Fund, “which helps us to provide lifesaving medical care to animals suffering from illness or injury.”
