Bridget O'Brien PR and Events Announces the New Rochelle Human Society Hosts Annual Dinner for Paws for a Heart

The New Rochelle Human Society is raising awareness to support the work Paws for a Heart is doing to ensure the animals in care. The New Rochelle Human Society annual dinner and auction will be held on September 18th.

New Rochelle, NY, August 08, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The New Rochelle Humane Society’s annual dinner and auction, Paws for a Heart Gala, will be held Thursday, September 18, 2014 from 6:30pm – 10:30pm. Paws for a Heart is the premier fundraising event for the New Rochelle Humane Society. This year’s highly anticipated gala will be held at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, New York.

Location:
299 Weyman Ave
New Rochelle, NY 10805

More than 250 prominent business and community leaders from around the county attend this event, along with some of their furry friends. Dollars raised at the Gala directly support the work the shelter is doing to ensure that the animals in their care are treated with kindness and dignity until they can find their forever homes. The support of attendees, sponsors and donations will help the shelter continue to expand their programs, purchase specialized equipment and enhance the facilities as well as find loving homes for the animals in their care.

Proceeds from this year’s gala celebration will be directed to the Help Heal Fund. When an animal is severely ill or injured, the Help Heal Fund provides the means for expensive surgery and medicine, giving dogs and cats a second chance at life and finding a loving and permanent home.

The Paws for a Heart evening will include dinner, a live auction and silent auction. The New Rochelle Humane Society is excited for Susan Richard to emcee this year’s event.

Carlette Allen has just retired as President of the New Rochelle Humane Society where she served for 16 years. During her tenure, the New Rochelle Humane Society saw remarkable growth, both in the number of communities they are serving, the number of successful adoptions and the dollars raised.

David J. McCabe has been a longtime friend and generous supporter of the New Rochelle Humane Society. He has been an advocate of the New Rochelle Humane Society in discussions with the city of New Rochelle and served on the Board of Directors for three years.
