While we should all count ourselves lucky to have a shelter to actually "shelter in place," plenty of animals across the tri-state area are still in desperate need of homes. Thankfully, places like Animal Haven, a non-profit that cares for and places abandoned cats and dogs around NYC, is still working tirelessly to support these animals in need.
Beloved by celebrities and socialites, the Manhattan org is usually host to an annual gala which raises much-needed funds for its mission, but this year, in lieu of a physical gathering, Animal Haven is bringing its Benefit for the Animals to the virtual realm - and you're invited!
If you're free (which you are) and are craving a reason to dress up (which you definitely are), you can snag a spot on the guest list of this year's event, co-chaired by our own Rachelle Hruska MacPherson and supermodel Carolyn Murphy. Needless to say, you'll be in glamorous company.
A-list animal-lovers set to make appearances at this Zoom soiree include Martha Stewart, Jon Stewart, Edie Falco, Kate Walsh, Vincent D'Onofrio, Martha Plimpton, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Georgina Bloomberg. And if you've made enough cocktails to fuel you through, you can stick around for a nightcap featuring a DJ set by none other than the puppy princess herself, Paris Hilton.
It's all going down this week, Wednesday, May 20th, at 6 pm. Tickets start at $100, and all proceeds benefit Animal Haven's Emergency Action Fund. Furry friends, of course, are welcome!
