More than $1.5 million was raised for Pups4Patriots and Lois’ Food4Kids. ’ Everything that we have achieved with the Lady in Red Gala over 28 years — all the lives we have touched for the better, the difference we have made in helping disabled veterans, impoverished and hungry children, in saving dogs and cats, and so much more — is because of you and your generosity, empathy, friendship and commitment,’ event chairwoman Lois Pope said.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">More than 300 supporters of the armed forces joined American Humane in an effort to help save America’s vets — and pets — by investing in trained service dogs. ‘There are many worthy causes in the world, but few inspire more people than working to help our nation’s brave veterans and our nation’s animals in need,’ American Humane President and CEO Robin Ganzert said. ‘Tonight, with your help and the support of some of the nation’s leading advocates for our military heroes and homeless animals, we will save more lives — on both ends of the leash.’</p></div>Celebrations: Lady in Red Gala - The Breakers, Palm Beach — Jan. 3https://thecoastalstar.com/profiles/blogs/celebrations-lady-in-red-gala-the-breakers-palm-beach-jan-32020-01-28T21:10:15.000Z2020-01-28T21:10:15.000ZThe Coastal Starhttps://thecoastalstar.com/members/TheCoastalStar<div><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}7960927266,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}7960927266,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-center" alt="7960927266?profile=original" /></a><em>Diana Ross with Lois Pope. <strong>Photos provided by CAPEHART</strong></em></p>
