Philanthropist/animal advocate Cathy Kangas will be accepting the Compassion in Action Award. Mayor Michael Bloomberg will also be there for the evening’s events.
Among those attending are Amanda Hearst and Georgina Bloomberg, Dan Finnerty, Nina Garcia, Tricia Helfer, Cathy Kangas, Rose McGowan, Kathy Najimy, John Quinones, Jill Rappaport, Margaret Russell, Ramona Singer, Michael Smith, Jane Velez Mitchell, Ali Wentworth, and HSUS President and CEO Wayne Pacelle.
