2019 Champagne Brunch

We are proud to have Marcia Lederman's Bandit as the 2019 Face of the Brunch! He recently retired from pet therapy at 17 years old having done 12 years of visits.  Thanks for all your good work and Happy Retirement! Photography generously donated by CCPT team member: David Benjamin

The Champagne Brunch was a great success! We gathered at the Birchwood Manor to raise funds to fulfill our mission of bringing therapeutic healing visits to so many in need. It was a time to celebrate all that CCPT has accomplished and all that it seeks to achieve.  

Our beautiful and dedicated therapy team greeters welcomed guests in the lobby. It was the perfect photo op and a chance to see a couple of our 275 teams that allow us to provide more than 3200 visits to 225 facilities and help 64,000 people annually.

Our Master of Ceremonies was Terrie Carr, Program Director and Midday Host of Rock N Ruff Top Dog and 105.5WDHA - The ROCK of NJ. Her vibrant nature and love of animals made her the perfect fit for our event. 

Live music provided by The Billy Wilkins Duo set the tone for the afternoon, and it was both pleasant and entertaining for the guests.  

At our Silent Auction and Raffle tables, we saw some amazing and unique items such as a one week stay at either a beautiful condo on Sanibel Island FL, or an upscale log cabin in NH; dining gift certificates at Scalini Fedeli, Rods and Rails Steakhouse; hands on culinary experiences at Kings Cooking Studio and Hudson Table; brewery and winery tours at Flying Fish Brewery and City Winery; overnight stays at Woodloch Spa, Crystal Springs Resort and Heldrich Hotel; tickets to The Daily Show, the Knicks or Mets; and a variety of baskets of fun items.

The robust menu was paw-sitively delicious! We enjoyed Danish, crudités, hot & cold buffet items, carving stations, a variety of salads, fresh seasonal fruits,  a dessert extravaganza with an assortment of cakes, mousses, fruit and lots of bubbly poured throughout the entire event.
