Toast to the Animals 2026

About this event

Toast to the Animals brings together community leaders, business professionals, and passionate supporters for an unforgettable evening benefiting pets in need. Proceeds from the event support the Jacksonville Humane Society’s Medical Fund, which provides critical, lifesaving care to thousands of animals each year. Guests will enjoy a dynamic, cocktail-style experience featuring tastings from more than 15 local restaurants, along with wine and beer service and both silent and live auctions offering one-of-a-kind packages. Throughout the evening, guests can also take part in interactive experiences, including our Cuddle Corner, where they can spend time with adoptable pets and connect with the animals their support helps make possible. Crowd-favorite activities such as Mutt Putt, the Diamond Drawing, Wine Pull, and more will also be available for purchase during the event. All guests will receive a commemorative JHS wine glass as a parting gift.
