Fund-raiser goes beyond expectations
NORTHWEST DISTRICT -- A fund-raiser last month to benefit the
Burbank Animal Shelter pulled in $12,000, shelter officials said this
week.
“Stand Up for the Animals” at the Castaway on Oct. 19 was
co-hosted by actress Linda Blair and English talk show host Clive
Pearse. The event included dinner, a silent auction and several
stand-up comedians.
“It was a huge success,” said Eva Sippel, president of the shelter
volunteers, who sponsored the event. “I was hoping to raise $10,000.”
The money raised, which included about $500 from a surfboard that
was auctioned will go to remodel the shelter’s cat room, Sippel said.
