Beth Stern and friends, including Coco Austin and her daughter Chanel Nicole, and animal advocate and award-winning author Jill Rappaport, hosted the Bash for the Bulldogs to benefit Long Island Bulldog Rescue at NYU Kimmel Center’s Rosenthal Pavilion. All proceeds from the event go to help, heal and home abandoned, abused, neglected and injured or ill English Bulldogs. Long Island Bulldog Rescue was founded in 1999 by Laurette Richin, and serves nine states in the Northeast United States, as well as Southeast Canada. Their mission is to help English Bulldogs through education, prevention, intervention and adoption. They fulfill their mission by helping, healing, and homing abandoned, neglected, abused, or released English Bulldogs. Long Island Bulldog Rescue has directly helped more than 10,000 families protect and save more than 3,500 English Bulldogs. LongIslandBulldogRescue.org
