The North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) today announced the launch of a global veterinary industry fundraising drive that will bring together thousands of veterinary professionals from all over the world to donate to the Pasadena Humane Wildfire Relief Fund to help animals impacted by the Southern California wildfires. The campaign will take place during the annual Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX) Jan. 25-29, presented by the NAVC at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. The NAVC will match donations, up to $25,000, and 100% of the donations will be sent to the Pasadena Humane Wildfire Relief Fund.
The NAVC is the world’s leading provider of continuing veterinary education and host of VMX, the world’s largest and most comprehensive annual veterinary conference.
“So many animals in Southern California have been impacted by the catastrophic fires in Southern California and are in immediate need of homes and medical care. The veterinary community understands how urgent these needs are and is looking for ways to contribute and help now,” said NAVC CEO Gene O’Neill. “Nearly 30,000 veterinary professionals from more than 82 countries will be gathered together at VMX 2025 starting this weekend. NAVC will provide easy opportunities for them to make a donation to Pasadena Humane and, together, we can multiply our impact on the lives of these animals, their families and the tireless veterinary staff working to save the animals.”
Anyone wanting to show support and boost the matching funds can donate through SHOP NAVC. Additionally, VMX attendees will be able to contribute at physical donation bins located in the VMX Registration Booths in the South and North concourses of the Orange County Convention Center. As a “Thank You” for those who donate on-site, the NAVC will provide this One Love sticker to donors at the SHOP NAVC booth.
