The Power of Pets celebration at ROAR with Laughter, which took place February 22 at BMW of Ridgefield, was a sold out event. This year, the event honored Tom Reynolds, the 2014 ROAR Community Star Award recipient, and The Ridgefield Press, the 2014 ROAR Community Business Award recipient.

Stand-up comedian Robin Fox and the J and B Jazz Trio entertained guests while they enjoyed dinner and drinks and silent and live auctions. ROAR, founded in 2005, has placed almost 4,000 neglected and unwanted cats and dogs in homes throughout Ridgefield and surrounding towns. The organization is also a presence in schools at all levels, sharing information about the rewards and responsibilities of pet ownership, and working with student groups in developing ways to “give back” to animals in need.
