Animal Samaritans has announced that tickets are now available for the 16th Annual Men of the Desert Fashion Show and Luncheon. The event, presented by The Carl Jud Foundation, will take place on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
Brandon Boswell, Steven Henke, and David Romness, MD are co-chairing the event. Patrick Evans from KESQ will serve as emcee. Susan Stein is producing this year’s fashion show with the theme “A Walk in the Park,” encouraging guests to wear Garden Chic Attire inspired by springtime in a park setting.
The fundraiser expects to draw over 600 attendees and receives support from sponsors including Brandon Boswell Diamonds, Eisenhower Health, Jan Salta, and One Valley Foundation.
Proceeds from the event will go to Animal Samaritans’ Adoption Alliance Rescue Program and No-Kill Shelter. Since its founding in 2011, the program has rescued more than 16,000 at-risk dogs and cats by partnering with nearly 300 rescue organizations across the country. The program also works closely with Coachella Valley Animal Campus to help animals in overcrowded shelters and provides care for a variety of pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, and reptiles.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for those interested in supporting the event. For more information about sponsorships, contact Jarred Ellis at Animal Samaritans.
