Philanthropist, author, and television host Jean Shafiroff hosted a reception at her New York home to honor the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons and the start of its summer campaign culminating in the milestone 25th Annual Get Wild! Gala, to be held at the Southampton Art Center on Friday, August 1.

The private event brought together a group of animal advocates and supporters of the charity to cheer the organization’s mission for wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and ultimately returning healed animals to the wild. Guests enjoyed drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a pianist while learning about the life-saving efforts of the Wildlife Rescue Center.

Kathleen Mulcahy, executive director of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, and Jean Shafiroff received citations from NYS Assemblywoman Rebecca Seawright for their devotion to animal welfare.

In her remarks to the guests and supporters, Kathleen, leader of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center, said, “The Wildlife Center is so grateful to Jean for her support of both the Center’s mission and our 25th Anniversary Get Wild Celebration. With Jean’s generous sharing of her home, we introduced a new audience to our cause, and we certainly hope to see many of the attendees here on August 1 in Southampton at Get Wild! further supporting the Wildlife of the East End.”

Shafiroff, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, said, “I am delighted to host and underwrite this party in support of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center. Their work with wildlife is vitally important to preservation of our ecosystem. As an animal advocate, I love their work and encourage others to learn more about the good they do.”

Attendees included Missy Hargraves, Sylvia Hemmingway, Pamala Wright, Jerry and Suzan Kremer, Malan Breton, Ron Dyce, Victor dE Souza, Maribel Lieberman, Pamela Morgan, Yogmata Keiko Aikawa, Keiko Aoki, Bianca Lopez, Ryan Nessing, Roy Kean, Lee Fryd, Fern Clausius, Mike Espiritu, Shanon Lepre, Kenneth & Maria Fishel and David Hochberg.
