Ribotsky on the Onyx and Breezy Foundation

One example of having fun in charity is an organization that Corey Ribotsky supports, the Onyx and Breezy Foundation. This foundation – that works towards the welfare of animals – recently held its first annual gala at Ellington.  It was a “roaring success” and enjoyed by all.  Some participants got really into the swing of things by dressing up as Onyx and Breezy lookalikes!  There were great appetizers, a four course meal and a silent auction, a comic performance by Elayne Boosler and more.  All of these ventures at the gala raised a nice sum of money for this important organization looking out for the welfare of less than fortunate animals.
