4th ANNUAL SPREAD THE NEWS WINE TASTING - September 6th
|
The Peacock Foundation, a non-profit organization lead by Lisa Peacock, creatively joins rescue animals with traumatized youth in an effort to heal their hearts. With the help of the foundation's valued sponsors, committee and volunteers Lisa is able to continuously adopt animals in need while reaching out to children in various youth programs across Los Angeles and Phoenix. Animal-assisted therapy has been used since the 1960's in various forms to help children overcome physical, emotional and learning challenges. It is used in The Peacock Foundation to display stories of neglect, abuse and abandonment in order to relate to the affected children, teaching them about positive peer relationships, tackling their fears and overcoming adversity.
CBS Radford Studios graciously opens their doors for the 4th year in a row to host the wine tasting of the season, Spread The News. Organic To Go will be providing healthy and delectable treats for our patrons as we sample wine from around the world. Join us as we stroll down a New York street to the soft jazz notes of a street band while sipping titillating wines. All of this enjoyment and the entire time you are benefiting a generation of troubled youth.

Can't make it to the Fur Ball?
 Kitten Rescue still needs your support! So far this year, we have rescued over 500 cats and kittens and racked up well over $100,000 in veterinary and medical expenses. We've rescued more and more kitties who have been displaced by the tough economic climate, many of whom have just been thrown out of their homes and left to fend for themselves, left behind in foreclosed houses, or dumped at overcrowded high-kill shelters. Click here to make a donation and help us help them. Your generous support can make all the difference in the life of a cat or kitten in need!
