Who are we helping? Humanity and husbandry. Our dogs. Our cats. Our families. Our people. This is NOT just another benefit for the soccer league or the lacrosse team or the theater. We love those. All of them. There’s a time and a place for them. But this event is raw. This event is tender. This event is Love without Labels for Puerto Rico. This is Compassion Kind and Aja Nikiya and they need our help to save a hurting Island. NOW is the time. Saturday, November 18. 5 pm and onward to midnight. Love gift at door of show bar goes directly to this mission. And so many more opportunities to give to it. Watch here and be ready to step up. Cheers everyone.
