Luminaries for Lost Loves
Please join the Animal Welfare Association in celebrating and honoring the pets that have touched our lives.
For just a $10 donation, a luminary will be lit honoring the love that still burns for those you have lost. The AWA is so sorry for your loss, but looks forward to honoring their legacy by lighting the night.
Luminaries will be on display throughout the AWA campus on September 15th, 2026 from 6:30-8:30pm.
AWA invites all to come and view your pet’s luminary and stay for the reception, including:
light refreshments
therapy dogs
open ears, hearts and shoulders to cry on
Please note: You’re NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND the event to purchase a luminary.
