Emily Deschanel, Leona Lewis and Kevin Nealon will attend the gala in support of the organization's efforts to rescue animals from slaughter.
Animal-rights organization Farm Sanctuary will celebrate its 30-year anniversary with a star-studded gala on November 12 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. The event will be hosted by co-chairs Tracey Stewart—wife of funnyman Jon Stewart and co-owner of Farm Sanctuary’s New Jersey branch—and makeup mogul and tattoo artist Kat Von D. Attendees—including comedian Kevin Nealon, actress Emily Deschanel, and musician Leona Lewis—will be treated to a vegan dinner using plant-based meats from Gardein. Vegan hot dogs will also be offered, served out of a Volkswagen Westfalia van—a nod to Farm Sanctuary co-founder Gene Baur’s early activist days serving meat-free food at Grateful Dead concerts. Los Angeles vegan restaurant Crossroads will be presented with an “Inspiration Award,” while Von D and Lewis will receive the “Compassion in Action Award” and “The Friends Not Food Award,” respectively. “We’re using this special occasion to applaud how far we’ve come,” Baur says, “but also to continue our mission of revealing the truth behind factory farming practices, saving animals from abusive conditions, and changing how society views and treats farm animals.” The organization provides lifelong care for rescued farm animals across four sanctuary locations in New York, New Jersey, and California.
