40th Anniversary Celebration in Los Angeles

Taking place at the stunning Playa Studios in Culver City on Sunday, Nov. 2, from 3 to 6 p.m. PT, this special anniversary celebration and fundraiser will feature inspiring remarks from PCRM founder and president, Dr. Neal Barnard, about the early days and how far we’ve come. The event will also feature behind-the-scenes stories from key PCRM staff who work on the front lines every day to save lives; and some other special guests to be announced soon. You’ll also enjoy delectable vegan hors d'oeuvres, live music, exclusive interviews, and more!

One special guest joining the celebration will be the one and only Moby! We’ll be honoring the legendary, multi-Grammy-nominated musician, producer, DJ, and music trailblazer—with our Voice of Compassion Award. While his global impact on music is undeniable, it’s Moby’s unwavering dedication to making this a better world for animals that truly sets him apart.

Another special guest to be honored will be Jim Greenbaum of the Greenbaum Foundation. Jim will be the first-ever recipient of our Global Reach Award to recognize how the Greenbaum Foundation has successfully partnered with PCRM to reach millions of people in China about the benefits of a plant-based diet. We’re honored to recognize Jim’s influence and dedication to effecting change on a worldwide scale.

And prepare your tastebuds! New York Times bestselling cookbook author and famed restauranteur Chef Tal Ronnen and his team from Crossroads Kitchen will be providing signature small plates for the event, like whipped vegan feta with caramelized figs, broccoli arancini, and dessert macarons. Esquire magazine says that Crossroads is “one of the 15 restaurants that defined the past decade of eating in Southern California.” Yet another reason not to miss this special celebration!
