🗓 Friday, March 27, 2026

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the extraordinary organizations and rescuers who dedicate their hearts and lives to saving our beloved companion pets, strays, and abandoned animals.
Together, we’ll applaud their tireless compassion and give them the support they need to continue their mission.

All the passion. All the sparkle. No politics. Just purpose.

Enjoy an elegant welcome reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and gourmet stations, sit-down dinner, music, laughter, games of chance, and inspiring stories—all in the spirit of love for animals.
Your ticket includes an hour of passed hors d’oeuvres and stations, a sit-down dinner, and one complimentary signature drink to toast the heroes who fight for those without a voice.
All additional cocktails and beverages will be available for purchase at the cash bar.

Let’s make this a night to give back to those who give so much.
Let’s come together to uplift and celebrate the many tireless rescuers who make Staten Island a haven for animals in need—because when we unite, every rescue wins.

Benefiting Four Incredible Staten Island Rescues

The One Island Rescue Gala proudly supports four dedicated organizations that embody compassion, commitment, and courage in animal rescue.

Near & Far Animal Foundation – Uniting hearts across borders, NAFAF rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes animals from crisis situations both locally and internationally, giving second chances to the ones who need it most.

Pitbulls & Addicts – A remarkable organization that saves lives on both ends of the leash, rescuing misunderstood pitbulls while offering recovery and purpose to those overcoming addiction through love and responsibility.

Victory 4 the Voiceless Animal Rescue – Fighting tirelessly for the forgotten, this rescue stands up for animals who have no voice, providing medical care, shelter, and hope to those who’ve endured neglect and abuse.

A Stray’s Hope for Life Rescue – Focused on giving lost, abandoned, and unwanted animals the love and care they deserve, this rescue believes every stray deserves a story that ends in a forever home.

Together, these four organizations represent the heart of Staten Island’s rescue community — working side by side to heal, protect, and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.
