Senior Paw Project
Join me for a very special show with Jenny Hubbard executive director of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation. Created in honor of Sandy Hook shooting Victim Catherine Violet Hubbard who even at 6yrs old was a passionate animal lover. Created in 2013 the Foundation helps Seniors through the Senior Paw Project be able to feed and care for their pets. Now with the Sanctuary the Foundation can realize all of their wish list of fostering and veterinary care. This Foundation recognizes how important being able to keep Seniors with their pets and to be able to feed them. Check the Website for all the wonderful events that are happening.
BIO:
The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation is a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization working to promote compassion and healing through human-animal connection. The foundation was started in 2013 to commemorate and honor the life of Catherine Violet Hubbard, a six-year-old victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy and passionate animal lover. In 2014, the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation was awarded over 34 acres of Connecticut state farmland by a unanimous vote from the Connecticut State House of Representatives and Senate, which would become home to the Catherine Violet Hubbard Sanctuary. Since its inception, the organization has raised over $6.5 million in funding, including grants from the ASPCA, private sector partners and thousands of individuals to support its breadth of programming, including a pollinator protection initiative providing critical shelter, sustenance and migration space for critical ecosystem pollinators, free community workshops around animal care and environmental protection, aid for seniors to keep and care for their pets and much more. Donations also go towards the sanctuary’s ongoing construction of onsite facilities, including a vet in-take center, learning barn and library.
