NJ Devils To Appear At Hudson County Animal Shelter Fundraiser

Hoboken, NJ – Local animal shelter and nonprofit Liberty Humane Society will host an autograph signing fundraiser with goaltender Cory Schneider and center Adam Henrique of the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, April 23.

The event will take place from noon to 2 p.m. at the LHS facility at 235 Jersey City Boulevard in Jersey City.

For each $20 donation made to the shelter, a player will sign one piece of memorabilia.

This is the second year LHS has hosted a NJ Devils signing event.

According to LHS staff, for the past two years, Schneider and his wife, Jill, have been active volunteers who have fostered many special needs animals in their home. They are currently fostering “Bushmills” – a deaf and blind kitten who came from a hoarding situation in Jersey City. Jill is also an active volunteer and dog-walker at the shelter.

“My wife and are strong supporters of animal welfare and it’s awesome to take part in saving lives with LHS’s staff and volunteers,” Schneider said. “I’m proud to help raise money and awareness for this organization, which does so much good work for others.”

“Cory and Jill are steadfast supporters who are passionate about doing more for local animals in need,” Executive Director Irene Borngraeber said. “They are wonderful advocates for LHS, and we are so grateful to have the support of their family and the Devils’ organization.”

The Liberty Humane Society serves towns including Hoboken.
