Two different awards will be presented to each special guest.
Barker will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to animal welfare, which includes donations to animal welfare groups, starting animal studies programs at universities and colleges and campaigning for better conditions for animals. Fox will receive an ADI Animal Champion Award for her work with animals in entertainment.
The night will include music, vegan hors d’oeuvres, desserts, wine, spirits, art, speakers, and a glimpse of Lion Ark, the feature length documentary about the rescue of Bolivian lions.
The event is sponsored by several vegetarian and eco-friendly companies, including Alternative Outfitters, ecoVegan, Frey Vineyards, Mt Beautiful Vineyards, Native Foods Café, Paul Mitchell, Uncle Eddie’s Vegan Cookies, Veggie Grill and Vegin’ Out Vegan Meal Home Delivery Service.
