His work has sparked a movement. His story has inspired millions. And this October, he joins us in Tucson—not just as a celebrity guest, but as a partner and champion of the Scarritt Foundation’s mission to serve both people and their beloved animals throughout Pima County and beyond.

“When we gather around a table in the name of compassion, we do more than raise money—we raise hope. For the animals. For the people who love them. And for a world that remembers kindness is always worth celebrating. I hope you’ll join us for what we believe will be a powerful evening of generosity for years to come.”
