This month, we are gearing up for the twenty-first edition of the annual ASPCA Bergh Ball, a black-tie gala focused on raising critical funds to support animals in need nationwide and honoring those who have made outstanding contributions and commitments to animal welfare. At this year’s event, which will be held April 19, acclaimed fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi will return as Master of Ceremonies, and honorees will include Bergh Ball co-chair and devoted volunteer Laura Zambelli Barket, Chairperson of the ASPCA’s Humane Awards Luncheon and Bergh Ball Mindy Fortin and Saturday Night Live’s Cecily Strong.
