The Organizer:
Hello everyone, my name is Erika Hazel or as I am known on social media @bizerkeleyvegan. I am a 6 year Berkeley resident and proud vegan of 5 years this October! I have traveled to veg fests from Los Angeles to Portland to Atlantic City and all the way back to our own Bay Area vegan festivals. This is the 5th vegan festival I have coordinated or helped to coordinate and have been organizing charitable events since my first clothing and toy drive at 8 years old in my hometown of Vallejo.
Benefitting Friends of Berkeley Animal Care Services:
Friends of Berkeley Animal Care Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to raising much-needed funds to support critical programs and services at Berkeley’s municipal animal shelter, Berkeley Animal Care Services or BACS.
BACS is much more than just another city shelter. In addition to a caring, committed, and knowledgeable staff, more than 1,000 volunteers collectively give an average of 426 hours of their time each week, supporting groundbreaking programs in pit bull placement, feral cat management, and community services.
This cooperation, enthusiasm, and compassion point to why BACS has one of the highest live release rates for a municipal facility in the nation. In April 2009, BACS was the recipient of the prestigious Maddie’s Fund Lifesaving Award, which recognized the shelter’s work in finding homes for all healthy and treatable shelter pets.
