Name: VIP Admission | A Night in Oaxaca: A Philanthropic Tribute to Guelaguetza
Start: 2025-08-31T21:00:00.000Z
Location: Seventh Son Brewing Co.

🌺 ***A Night in Oaxaca: A Philanthropic Tribute to Guelaguetza*** 🌺

There are roughly *40 million dogs and 25 million cats in Mexico—and a staggering 70% of them live on the streets.* Of these, only 15% will ever see a veterinarian in their lifetime. In Oaxaca, where over 61% of the population lives in poverty and nearly 23% in extreme poverty, the situation is even more dire.

To make matters worse, many veterinarians are forced to abandon the field due to unsustainable wages and inadequate training, leaving vast regions with little to no access to veterinary services. This deepens the crisis—both for animals who continue to suffer needlessly, and for communities facing the public health threats that come with unmanaged stray populations. Rates of injury and disease run high, while hopes for consistent care run low.

*Global Outreach Programs for Animal Welfare is here to change this.* Through complimentary sterilization, vaccination, parasite control, public health education, community workshops, youth-based programming and advanced surgical training for local veterinarians, we’re working to close the gap—improving lives not just for animals, but for the people who live alongside them.

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the vibrant culture, music, and cuisine of Oaxaca, Mexico—all for a wonderful, community-driven cause.

A Night in Oaxaca is a cultural fundraiser that pays tribute to the annual Guelaguetza festival, featuring traditional folkloric dance, authentic Oaxacan cuisine, and a festive, community-driven atmosphere. Hosted at [Seventh Son Brewing Co.](https://www.seventhsonbrewing.com/) in Columbus on Sunday, August 31 at 5:00PM, the event is designed to highlight the beauty of Oaxacan traditions while raising critical funds for life-saving animal welfare programs in the region.

🌟 **What to Expect:**

* Traditional folkloric dance performances
* Authentic regional cuisine and tastings
* Silent auction, raffle + special giveaways
* Live music, cultural presentations, and more
* Fun photo opportunities
