LOUISVILLE, KY (June 25, 2010) – Actress Diane Gaidry will make guest appearances at Pup-Corn and A Movie and at Honoring the Animals, Candlelight Vigil in September. The weekend fundraisers are presented by Chance’s Spot, Pet Loss and Support Resources with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the New Albany Animal Shelter.
Diane has played lead roles in numerous independent films, including “Loving Annabelle” for which she won the Best Actress award at Outfest in 2006, as well as numerous episodic television guest spots, including a role in the hit show “Medium.” Pup-Corn and A Movie will feature the film which she co-produced and stars in, “The Dogwalker.” The movie follows the moving, transformational journey of Ellie Moore (Diane Gaidry) who, within the dogs she cares for, finds lost pieces of herself as she fumbles with the leash to her own life. She struggles to hold on as it pulls her toward a brighter future before her past catches up with her.
The event takes place on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at The Hotel Louisville. Tickets can be purchased online at www.honoringtheanimals.org beginning Monday, July 5, 2010. Tickets are $35 for those who would like to attend a meet-and-greet with Diane prior to the movie. Hor d’oeuvres and beverages as well as preferred seating at the movie will be included. Movie-only tickets are $15 and are first come, first served. Adoptable pets from the New Albany Animal Shelter will also be available.
Pup-Corn and A movie is just one of the weekend’s events featuring Diane, as she will also be a guest at the Fourth Annual Honoring the Animals Candlelight Vigil. This event, which features live music, light refreshments, adoptable pets, and a blessing of the animals, will take place on Sunday, September 12, 2010 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Saint Andrews Episcopal Church in the Highlands. Admission is free. For more information or to have a pet’s name printed in the memorial program book, visit: www.honoringtheanimals.org.

nice post. thanks.
It’s always good when people use their celebrity to help raise money for good causes. They can draw in other volunteers and bring in extra money.
