All proceeds will support VFTA as they continue their fight for creating respect and empathy for animals through education, rescue, legislation and advocacy.
Said Melya Kaplan, Executive Director of VFTA, “We are grateful to our returning all-star cast with Lily Tomlin, June Diane Raphael, Whitney Cummings, Casey Wilson, Craig Ferguson and Paul Scheer as host. It brings together some of funniest people on earth to raise money to help the Voice For The Animals Foundation (VFTA) continue their fight to give a voice to the animals. It is a fun evening of hilarity and I hope the public will join our efforts to take care of our animals.”
