HUMANE SOCIETY RECOGNIZES COMMUNITY LEADERS
at Annual GalaO n August 23rd, the Central Brevard Humane Society hosted their 3rd Annual Tuxes & Tails Gala at the Cocoa Civic Center in Cocoa. Over 250 people attended the annual fundraiser.
The event began with Sloan Rivers (honorary host Susie Wasdin) reporting live on the Catnip Carpet - interviewing attendees and their furry companions. "Mike & Mindy" of Lite Rock 99.3 FM and Rick Roach with Community Credit Union emceed the event.
The program included performances by Richard Evans, Caroline Hinton, Johnathan Shepherd from the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse Presenters, live & silent auctions, complimentary Pawtinis & Barkaritas, a buffet dinner, festive dance music, and a special presentation to recognize community leaders who have made a significant contribution to the Humane Society's success over the past year. Those winners were:
Rich Carpenter, Humane Hero Animal Friend Award- Dr. Elizabeth Chosa, John W. Braxton, III Veterinarian Award- Staci Hawkins-Smith, Richard H. Stottler, Jr. Humanitarian Award- Abbey West, Richard H. Stottler, Jr. Future Leader Humanitarian Award The event raised $35,000 of the $40,000 needed to build a new laundry room area at the shelter, as the existing pipes are deteriorating. Over the years, the facility has housed and cared for thousands and thousands of unwanted, abandoned and abused pets, and is in great need of repair. Major sponsors of the event include Lite Rock 99.3 FM, Space Coast Daily, Space Coast Medicine & Active Living, Wade Martin & Vanessa Rodriguez, Jon's Fine Jewelry, City of Cocoa, Florida Today, Rockledge Gardens and Space Coast Living. If you would like to help the Humane Society reach their goal for the laundry room, please call (321) 636-3343.
