In a tribute to the life and legacy of one of the children killed in Sandy Hook on 12/14, the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation hosted their third annual "Catherine's Butterfly Party”. This was to benefit the creation of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, and was a huge success! Over 2000 people attended along with a wonderful array of vendors, rescue organizations and educational groups.
Thanks to the success of the Super Adoption, 24 dogs and cats went to their forever homes, with numerous applications pending. In addition, Joel Barlow High School students presented the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation with a $1,000 check to support the Sanctuary, photos 159-161
