Looking Glass Animal Rescue will present its inaugural Spring Penny Social and Sunday Brunch on April 22, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Somers Community Center, located at 34 Hillandale Road in Yorktown Heights. The fundraising event, which is open to the public, will include food, drinks, vendors, a teacup raffle, a 50/50, a candy bar and auctions. All proceeds go to Looking Glass Animal Rescue, a volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and other inhumane situations.

Tickets can be purchased via credit card online, ahead of time. Only cash and checks will be accepted on the day of the event. Raffle tickets are $2 each and 50/50 and candy bar tickets are $5, payable in person at the event. The raffles and auctions will end at 2 p.m., with winners announced shortly after. All ages are welcome.

Looking Glass Animal Rescue is based in Ridgefield, Connecticut. While it welcomes all animals in need, it specifically focuses on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, a special need or an illness or injury requiring immediate, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide.
