We headed to the Pet Connect Rescue Casino Night Gala in Chevy Chase for its annual fundraiser to benefit animals in need.
Pet Connect fosters animals from high kill shelters and provides them with loving care and socialization to help them find homes. We snapped the evening’s emcee, legendary tennis player and coach, and a huge advocate for pet rescues, Wayne Bryan.
The fun-filled evening included silent and live auctions, cocktail reception with casino tables, and dinner. Here, Anthony Wider Design’s Dannye Ayre, Pet Connect’s Ginny Faucette, Avalere Health’s Kristin McCarthy, Nancy Faucette, and Muddy Paws’ Tammy Mathis holding 10-month-old hound mix, Jacqui, who was looking for a new home.
While guests played roulette and craps they tasted seared petite lamb chops and mini crab cakes. Here, attorneys Theresa Butler and Lori and Robert McCarthy, and spy novel author Meg Thompson.
For dinner, guest enjoyed a delicious chicken piccata with grilled shrimp and lemon pie for dessert. Here, Columbia Medical School’s Justin Lee, VA Law’s Robert Dunan and Margaret Kelly, and WDPA’s Rick Weston.
