Ms. Connecticut US 2014 to Host Connecticut Humane Society's Fourth Annual Faux Fur Ball

WHAT:   The Connecticut Humane Society is pleased to announce that this year’s Guest Emcee is Stephanie Mattera, Ms. Connecticut United States 2014. Stephanie is a Communications professional with a passion for creating social change. In 2010, she began channeling her lifelong love of animals and rescue efforts into strategic focus as the volunteer spokesperson for the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, a non-profit organization comprised of 150 rescues and shelters working with New York City’s Animal Care and Control to help end the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals by 2015. She created the exclusive Charity by Design partnership between lifestyle brand, Alex and Ani and the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, which has generated more than $200,000 to date for the organization’s lifesaving initiatives through the sale of the exclusive Paw Prints bangle. Stephanie is also mom to two beloved rescue pets of her own, a Japanese Chin, Keiko and calico kitty, Sophie.

This fun evening of entertainment, dinner buffet, cash bar, music, prize drawings and live auction is a great way to support the Connecticut Humane Society’s lifesaving programs and services for pets in need. This event sold out in 2013, so don’t miss out – buy your tickets or sponsorship package today.
