YOU did it! Because of everyone who came out to our event at Kendra Scott in the Short Hills Mall, more money was raised to help us continue to carry out our mission to make EVERY animal smile. Thank you to our attendees and to Kendra Scott for hosting us. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Stay tuned for our next fundraiser in 2020! You won’t want to miss it!

MLFF is proud to have awarded a grant to SAVE in Skillman, NJ. This grant has allowed SAVE to purchase and install all new cat cages for all the felines! No more overcrowding. This wonderful facility houses up to seventy-five dogs and cats at one time and successfully places over four hundred per year in adoptive homes.
There will be an upcoming dedication of a plaque in honor of MLFF and its namesake, Manny Friedman. Watch for our announcement!
We are excited to announce our first annual fundraising event! We have partnered with The Blue Man Group to host a night of fun, music, and smiles. We will have the theater to ourselves on September 25, 2016.
BMG was a very special favorite of Manny's, so we can't think of a more fitting way to honor his memory and further our mission. Grab your show (and raffle) tickets here:

Get 'em while they're hot. See you at the show!
The newest recipient of a grant from the Manny L. Friedman Foundation is Angel's Hope! Created in the name of a beautiful, love-worthy stray named Angel, Angel's Hope's goal is a beautiful one:
"Through the efforts of Angel’s Hope we are determined to see a time when the loss of innocent companion animal lives as a result of entering shelters, becoming homeless or suffering from abuse and neglect is zero."
They aim to provide medical care and foster homes for the dogs in their area who might otherwise be euthanized. We think they're doing great work, and are so happy to support them. We encourage you to head to their website and check them out!
In the last seven months, The Manny L. Friedman Foundation has made substantial donations to three different no-kill animal shelters across the eastern seaboard! Here's a little look back at all we've done so far with your donations:
Our first donation was to the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia's homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is the city's largest no-kill shelter! Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. PAWS is working to make Philadelphia a no-kill city where every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.
Our second recipient was Pawmetto Lifeline. When the flooding hit South Carolina late last year, Pawmetto was in dire need of resources to handle a sudden influx of animals. Each year in their area, 17,000 dogs and cats enter two main municipal shelters, and each year 10,800 of them are euthanized even though they are healthy and capable of being adopted. Pawmetto is doing great work, and we were really happy to be able to help them in a crisis.
The most recent recipient of a donation from The Manny L. Friedman Foundation was Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue. Their motto is "Saving badass dogs from idiot humans." All the dogs they've acquired were rescued from high-kill rural shelters in the southern US. So far they've rescued over 1,300! Every dog they rescue gets full medical care and is fostered until he or she can find a permanent home. Badass is a shining example of what the Manny L. Friedman foundation is all about. And they're a 501(c)3 non-profit with an all-volunteer force.
We think all three of these shelters are incredible, and we are so glad to have them be part of our network!
