Please join us on Sunday, November 20, 2022 for our annual Thanksgiving FOR the Turkey’s event

Tickets for our 14th annual Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2022 are ON SALE NOW!

This is our largest event of the year! In addition to celebrating these magnificent beings and their sweet souls, this event helps us to raise money to pay our feed bill for the winter. This is our 14th anniversary of holding this event. Every year, we are thrilled to welcome old friends back and new ones to the family. 

We will again be having the very popular and much anticipated vegan chili cook-off (details and chefs to be announced, soon) activities including face painting for the kids and a few other kids activities and plenty of time to love on the Sunrise babies! We’re also hoping to have a Bake Sale for you!

We charge admission to this event to raise money for the Sanctuary, but instead of a fixed amount, we are letting YOU choose the admission price that is right for you by buying a virtual item the animals need and you will have the option to make an additional donation either online or at the event. One ticket is required per person, and they do sell out, so please secure your spot soon!

Thank you for your support for our 2021 Spring Fling celebration – Regan’s First birthday party!

Spring Fling was a smashing success!  It’s hard to believe that it has been a year on July 4th when little Regan came into our lives.  She was so happy to see her supporters!
 
Spring Fling is an annual celebration here at Sunrise Sanctuary and one of our largest fundraisers of the year. All funds raised go directly toward caring for the precious souls that call Sunrise home.  This year, we were honored to have the amazing and talented Kevin Ridenbaugh from Seitan’s Realm be our chef for the day.  Kevin is generously donating his food and skills and serving up his award winning burger patties. We are also so grateful for Portia’s for providing the yummy side dishes.  The bake sale was a huge success and we are so grateful to the amazing vegan bakers who donated their time, talent, and baked goods for this event. 
Thank you!!

Also, a special thank you to the amazing businesses that donated other items to make this event happen.  Regan wants to take a break from her rainy-day scratching to thank Giant Eagle Lewis Center, Giant Eagle Westerville, Rumpke Waste & Recycling, World Centric, Acorn Distributors, Inc. , Walmart -Marysville and Marc’s for their generous donations and contributions to our Spring event! We are so grateful!

For those of you who do not know Regan’s story… Regan came to us after living her entire young life on a factory farm. Two wonderful people rescued her from a very horrible fate. Regan was born solely to end up on somebody’s plate. She was brought into existence for one purpose, to be killed. Her soul had no meaning to those who brought her into this world, she was just profit. However, Regan is a beautiful, inquisitive, vocal and unique little girl. She loves the grass and fresh air and loves to run and jump. She also loves splashing around in her own little Regan-size piggy pool. She now knows nothing but love and care. Even after everything she’s been through, she’s such a trusting piggy. We will love her and cherish her every moment. She is safe and she is home.
Regan is also special in another way. As many know, a tragic event recently shook the activist world. On June 19th, 2020 long-time animal rights activist Regan Russell with Toronto Pig Save was hit and killed by a transport truck, while giving pigs headed to slaughter fresh water. The rescuers saved little Regan in Regan Russell’s name and we are honored to take part. Regan was an amazing person who dedicated her entire life to bettering this world and giving a voice to those whose voices are not heard. She spent her final hours comforting scared pigs who were about to walk into a horrible nightmare. We will never forget Regan Russell and everything she fought so hard for, justice. Regan’s memory and fight will never be forgotten. We will never forget how someone who could be so caring and so inherently good could be killed in such a horrible way. We gave little Regan sanctuary, in her honor.

Thanksgiving FOR The Turkeys – Sunday November 22, 2020 from 1-3

Due to COVID 19 and an order from the State of Ohio, we have cancelled this event.  We are devastated to have to cancel, but want to comply with the letter and sprit of the law and most importantly want to make sure you and our many volunteers that would have had to be on hand for the event are safe.  If you pre-ordered a meal, Seitan’s Realm is refunding the cost directly to you.  We will refund your admission price paid upon request. If you were registered, an email was send directly to you with instructions.  Thank you for your support and we hope to be able to open the farm up to our Open Barn Days in the Spring.  If you have any questions, please email us directly, sandy@sunrisesanctuary.org.
