Bernadette Peters, Sutton Foster, and Leslie Odom Jr. to Headline The FetchPet Gala – an Extraordinary Evening of Purpose and Performance
FetchPet’s One-Night-Only Event to Benefit Broadway Barks, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Project Street Vet and Wags & Walks
Three of Broadway’s brightest Tony Award winners – Bernadette Peters, Sutton Foster, and Leslie Odom Jr. – will take center stage at the inaugural FetchPet Gala. The black-tie event hosted by FetchPet Insurance benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Broadway Barks, Project Street Vet, and Wags & Walks.
Tickets for the event, set for Monday, October 20, 2025, at The Carlyle in New York City are now available at broadwaycares.org/fetchpetgala.
The gala kicks off on The Green Carpet, presented by Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day. Shelter dogs from Northshore Animal League will strut the carpet sporting Collars for Cause™ – bespoke dog collars created by international designers Jeffrey Banks, James Taffin de Givenchy, Josie Natori, Irene Neuwirth, and Stefania Pramma. The collars will be available at auction in December 2025 with net proceeds going to the gala beneficiaries.
“The heart of Broadway Cares is ensuring generosity translates into real impact in communities - whether that’s lifesaving medication, a hot meal or making sure someone can keep and care for their beloved pet,” said Danny Whitman, executive director of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. “As a proud cat dad to Cricket and Sassy Pants, I know firsthand the love animals bring into our lives and too often, that is overlooked. With FetchPet, we’re shining a light on the vital role pets play in people’s lives and ensuring that no one has to face hardship without their animal companion by their side.”
The FetchPet Gala is presented by Kismet, a modern dog food brand rooted in science-backed nutrition and giving back, co-founded by longtime dog parents and advocates Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, and guided by Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Kwane Stewart. The gala is also made possible through the generosity of brand partners Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, SATELLAI and donations from corporate sponsors.
The partnership between FetchPet Insurance and Broadway Cares was initiated by The Erlick Group, a leading sponsorship agency since 1992.
