Join Miyoko Schinner, San Jose Woman's Club's Best Furry Friends Group, Silicon Valley Social Vegans, and and Moose Mountain Vineyards for our third annual fundraiser featuring an elegant evening of vegan food and wine benefitting animal sanctuary Rancho Compasión.

VIP tickets to the event include an intimate wine and appetizer reception in the Fireside Room starting at 5 pm. The VIP reception with Miyoko will feature her newest culinary creations and award-winning wine from Moose Mountain Vineyards.

General Admission begins at 6 pm for dinner. Comedian and vegan activist Jennie McNulty will once again regale us all with her wit and wisdom as our Mistress of Ceremonies for a thrilling live auction that begins with a speed painting performance that you won’t want to miss!

Choose an optional add-in to pair your meal with award-winning wines from Moose Mountain Vineyards. Wine will also be available by the glass from the no-host bar (suggested donation of $10).

Please bring your payment method of choice (checks are great - no fees!) for the live and silent auction, featuring fantastic getaways and unique experiences.

All proceeds from ticket sales and the auctions directly benefit Rancho’s Compassionate Education Program for youth which brings 50 students per week, ranging from primary to high school, from all backgrounds to engage with animals, get their hands in the soil in the new Compassion Garden, and learn about how they can be caring change makers for the animals and the future of our food system.

From Miyoko - "Can you imagine what it’s like for a kid who has never had the experience of meeting a cow or seeing how food is grown, to visit a farm sanctuary like Rancho Compasión? Life changing, right? You can make it possible for students to experience that."
