Indraloka Animal Sanctuary will host its annual Transformative Ties Spring Gala, an inspiring evening honoring compassion, connection, and the individuals whose leadership and generosity are transforming lives for both human and non-human animals on Saturday, April 11, from 6 to 8 pm, in Indraloka’s Art Barn event space.
“This year’s honorees embody the deep connection between caring for animals and supporting human healing, and we are honored to recognize the impact they’ve made in our community,” said founder, Dr. Indra Lahiri.
Through their generous support, volunteerism, and advocacy, the honorees help ensure that Indraloka’s programs, including low- to moderate-income households, provide access to low-cost veterinary care, low-cost children’s programs, such as week-long summer camps, and literacy initiatives, reach thousands in our community.
This year’s honorees include:
Lisa Severo & Moses Taylor Foundation, recipients of the Sandy Resilience Award, are honored for their transformative partnership in developing Indraloka’s Building Resilience programs and advancing trauma-informed support for helping professionals and communities.
Dawn Karam of Adopt-a-Boxer Rescue, recipient of the Ayla Sanctuary Guardian Award, was honored for her instrumental role in launching and supporting the NEPA Rescue Veterinary Clinic and expanding access to lifesaving care.
Alec and Maddox Weinberger, recipients of the Penny Power Compassion Award, are recognized for their leadership through kindness and for mentoring younger children in Indraloka’s Compassion Classroom.
Dr. Ruth Tal-Singer and Mr. Steve Tal-Singer, recipients of the Duncan & Nugget Heart of Rescue Award, are recognized for their deep commitment to the sanctuary and for making possible the Tal Barn and Mojo’s Bird Village—safe, enriching spaces where animals can thrive.
Transformative Ties brings together community leaders, supporters, and advocates for an evening that highlights the powerful connections between living beings of all species and the role those connections play in healing, resilience, and community well-being.
Proceeds from the gala directly support Indraloka’s rescue efforts, veterinary care, humane education, and innovative, trauma-informed programs that foster emotional well-being and connection.
Community members are invited to attend or support the event through sponsorship opportunities. Tickets and sponsorships are now available.
