Jorja Fox Joins The HSUS to Help End Dogfighting in Chicago
Our annual Spotlight Humane gala features dogs, drinks, and fine dining
Jorja Fox, of the CBS hit crime drama "CSI," will host the fifth annual Spotlight Humane: Chicago fundraiser at the Hotel Sofitel Water Tower on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010.
The benefit will support End Dogfighting in Chicago, a program of The Humane Society of the United States. EDC is an innovative, community-based program that works to turn Chicagoans away from dogfighting through street-level intervention, free dog training classes, humane education in Chicago public schools, religious leader outreach, and collaboration with law enforcement.
"As a dog lover, I am honored to be the host of The Humane Society of the United States' Spotlight Humane: Chicago," Fox said. "All proceeds from this event benefit the End Dogfighting in Chicago campaign, which reaches directly into high-risk communities. No one else in the country is doing more than The HSUS to end dogfighting."
Spotlight Humane: Chicago is a festive evening of live music, dancing, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and extra features, including:
- A special presentation by HSUS President and CEO Wayne Pacelle
- The Humane Chicago Awards, presented to those performing outstanding charitable work for animals in the Chicago region
- Silent and live auctions for items such as Oprah Winfrey Show tickets, trips to sunny getaways and autographed sports memorabilia
