barcs’ dog wedding IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE GALA!

It’s a heartwarming, hilarious, and unforgettable night that brings together animal lovers, community leaders, and businesses across the Baltimore region for a cause that truly saves lives. First launched in 2020 as the first event of its kind in Baltimore—and in the greater animal welfare community—the Dog Wedding Gala has captured the attention of pet lovers and local media alike. It’s now one of the city’s most talked-about charity events, providing a one-of-a-kind opportunity to celebrate love in all its forms while directly helping the animals who need it most.

2026 Sponsorship Packet

Supporting this event connects your business to one of Baltimore’s most beloved nonprofits and helps sustain the lifesaving work of the region’s busiest animal shelter. Each year, BARCS takes in more than 12,000 homeless, abused, and neglected animals—far more than our resources should allow. Your support makes a real and immediate impact, funding medical care, shelter, and second chances for pets who have nowhere else to turn.

As a sponsor, your business will also be featured across BARCS’ extensive digital and media reach—before, during, and after the event. Sponsors enjoy high-visibility recognition, from logo placement on event materials and signage to listings on the official gala website and naming rights for guest tables or event elements.

For sponsorship information, please contact Kate Pika at kpika@BARCS.org.
