Broadway Babe and Celebs Support South Hampton Animal Shelter

Jean Shafiroff, chair of the event with actor Jack Hartnett
Last Saturday night, my friend Ellen Seifert and I attended the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation’s 12th annual Unconditional Love gala under the tents on Pond Lane in Southampton. It was chaired by socialite and philanthropist Jean Shafiroff and it was a very special event, indeed.
The hurricane that was coming never happened, even though we were told that Southampton was going to be in the eye of the storm. So many of us braved it for this most worthy cause, that I personally support for their tireless and altruistic work.
SASF is a nonprofit organization that relies on the generosity of their donors and volunteers to care for homeless animals in its community, and place them in loving, forever homes. The overpopulation of pets on Long Island is a major issue. The shelter provides a steppingstone for animals to find a loving home and offers them housing, food, medical treatment, training, and rehabilitation when necessary. Donations in any amount are welcome.
