Community Calendar

Join us for a heartfelt and unforgettable evening at the Oklahoma Primate Sanctuary Gala, where compassion meets celebration. This special event brings together supporters, animal advocates, and community leaders to raise critical funds for the lifelong care of primates rescued from research labs, the pet trade, and other inhumane conditions.

Set in an elegant venue, the gala will feature a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, silent auctions, and inspiring stories from the sanctuary. Guests will hear directly from caregivers and advocates about the lives forever changed by sanctuary care and learn how their support helps provide nutritious food, expert veterinary services, enriching habitats, and around-the-clock care for over 90 primates.

All proceeds from the evening benefit the Oklahoma Primate Sanctuary’s mission to provide lifelong, enriching care for retired and rescued primates. Your attendance and generosity ensure that each monkey, macaque, and lemur in our care can continue to live with dignity, safety, and freedom from harm.

Dress to impress, bring your compassion, and prepare to be moved.
