Attendees are encouraged to bring donations to support the organizations and animals in their care. QR codes will also be available at the event for monetary donations, which will be shared among participating charities.

The June 28 celebration of life is open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to come share stories, memories, and honor a man whose voice, generosity, and compassion helped shape the community for nearly five decades.
Event is free and open to the public.
