For musicians like Rhiannon Giddens and Rissi Palmer, trying to break down doors in the folk and country music scenes has been a long road. A festival in Durham this weekend aims to remedy that.

The San Diego Animal Sanctuary & Farm, a 20-acre farm in Alpine, is hosting its 12th annual fundraising gala at the Bahia Resort Hotel with “Back to the 80s” as the theme. The evening event is crucial to support the animal sanctuary’s on-going operations and allows the farm to continue caring for more than 200 rescued animals. Attendees are encouraged to “Dress to Impress in Your 80s Best!” The Farm will host Lindsey Peña of ABC 10News as the evening’s emcee. Beginning at 6 p.m., the event will kick off with a cocktail reception, followed by a three-course gourmet dinner with wine, and dancing. Guests will also be able to participate in live and silent auctions. All money raised throughout the evening will support the Foundation’s mission, expanding their resources and farming operations. The nonprofit’s regular monthly operating budget climbed to close to $60,000.00 in the last year; the bulk of the expenses being wages, feed, and veterinary costs. Due to these drastic challenges, the Farm recently had to lay off three team members and hopes that donations, visits, and the annual fundraiser gala will help save this unique and magical place. The evening will provide a much-needed influx in cash flow and allow the farm to continue major repairs, medical emergencies and raise funds to finance Title 1 schools’ field trips to the farm. With the current financial crisis, the farm is no longer in the position of accepting new animals in need of a home, but the demand is high. To help with increasing feed cost and to increase revenues, the farm invested in its agricultural operations, which now produces food for its tortoises, pigs, and the San Diego community.
