Wedgewood Black Forest | Colorado Springs, Colorado
We look forward to welcoming our supporters for an unforgettable evening of purpose, compassion, and celebration at NMDR’s 2026 “An Evening of Hope” gala event—our largest and most impactful fundraising event of the year.
Set among the towering pines and peaceful meadows of Wedgewood Black Forest, this special evening will bring together animal lovers, advocates, and supporters who share a commitment to giving discarded breeding dogs a brighter future. Guests will enjoy a VIP reception and silent auction, followed by dinner, inspiring stories, and opportunities to celebrate the life-changing work made possible through the generosity of our community.
Why This Night Matters
Every ticket purchased and every dollar raised helps provide a second chance for dogs rescued from commercial breeding operations and other vulnerable situations.
Funds raised through the Gala support:
- Rescue operations and transport logistics
- Veterinary care, including spay/neuter surgeries, dental procedures, and critical medical treatment
- Behavioral rehabilitation and enrichment programs
- Adoption services and outreach that connect dogs with loving homes across the country
Since 2007, NMDR has rescued more than 25,000 dogs and continues to expand its impact through enhanced programs and facilities, including our growing presence in Missouri. The need remains urgent, and the support of our community makes this work possible.
Whether you have supported NMDR for years or are joining us for the first time, this evening is an opportunity to celebrate hope, transformation, and the incredible difference we can make together.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
