“I’m beyond proud of the work and growth of the Bianca Rae Foundation in just the past three years. This signature fundraising event of ours has raised significant money to aid the plight of homeless animals in the valley,” said Bianca Rae, founder of The Bianca Rae Foundation. “So many people come together to make this day the success it is, and that is a testament that there is a face behind the movement to become a No-Kill Coachella Valley.”
Local KESQ News Channel 3 morning anchor, Bianca Rae, created The Bianca Rae Foundation in 2012 and established Faith, Hope & Pups, now a signature February event. Her aim was to raise money and awareness for the Coachella Valley’s many homeless companion animals and since then, more than $100,000 has been distributed to animal welfare nonprofits.
Event sponsors include KESQ News Channel 3 The Deserts News Leader, Empire Polo Club, Humane Society of the Desert, My Little Flower Shop, RumChata, The Slice Pizzeria, Brandini Toffee, Signs By Tomorrow, Freeze Booth Photo, Icon Presentations, Ice Magic Sculptures and Dunkin Donuts.
