By: BWW News Desk Jan. 11, 2006
Tony La Russa and Elayne Boosler
host the show at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 15, 2006. "From
country to jazz to Broadway to rock, the stars are coming out in full
force to support ARF at its first St. Louis gala. Enjoy the musical
talents of some of entertainment's finest performers when country star Gretchen Wilson headlines at Stars to the Rescue!," according to press notes. In addition to Paige and country star Wilson, the evening will feature performances by Grammy-nominated trumpeter Chris Botti, Journey bandleader Jonathan Cain and pop and theatre star Tony Orlando, as well as comedian Elayne Boosler.
Paige Price appeared in the 2000 Broadway
musical Saturday Night Fever. Also on Broadway, Price starred in the
long-running Smokey Joe's Café and Disney's Beauty & the Beast.
Price has guest starred on numerous television shows, including "Ed", "Newhart", "Late
Night with David Letterman", among others. Her feature film credits include All
The Right Moves (with Tom Cruise), Silent Madness and The
New Kids.
Tony and Elaine La Russa created the
Animal Rescue Foundation in 1991 to address the needs of companion animals,
after he rescued a terrified stray cat that ran onto the field during
an A's-Yankees game. Their vision for ARF is an organization that can
not only aid abandoned and homeless animals, but will also promote the
concept that people's lives can be enhanced by strengthening the bonds
between humans and animals. With these intertwined goals as the guiding
principles, and an intention to become a national as well as local leader,
ARF has designed progressive programs for many populations including
abused children, the elderly, victims of violence and others who can
benefit from the healing contact of animals.
"ARF is growing to meet the demands
of the 21st century with the first private Adoption and Education Center
in Contra Costa County. ARF will continue to respond to the immediate
needs of animals who have been neglected, abused or deprived of love
to ensure they find high quality homes. At the same time, ARF will embody
the vision of a better future—one where animals are respected for
the unique role they can and do play in making the world a better place
for people to live and where there is a stable and loving home for every
pet to complete its natural lifespan."
