Our weekend in Vegas was legendary. We broke in DJ Lisa Pittman’s new lesbian nightclub, BootyBar. We took over the pool at the Golden Nugget for a day of sunbathing and debauchery. We also repainted two dorms at a batter women’s shelter as well as donating money and supplies (like 2,000 Luna Bars). Best of all, we made a ton of new friends and memories to last a lifetime (and no one lost a tooth).
Learn more about The Shade Tree, a fabulous shelter for abused women, their children and pets.

Families aren’t the only victims of domestic violence, that’s why we’ll be helping out in the kennel at Noah’s Animal House.
