The Ladies for Liberty are coming to Sarasota!
Monday, March 6, 2023 | The Humane Society of Sarasota County
Doors Open at 6pm | Show Starts at 7pm
Let the Ladies for Liberty take you back in time with their renditions of 1940’s, WWII, 1950’s Korean War, and 1960’s Vietnam War-era music. Their Andrews Sisters/USO-style performance features vocals, costumes, and hairstyles showcasing the spirit of patriotism, reminiscent of the 1940’s and 1950’s spark of joy and relief that was felt by American soldiers and the folks back home.
As animal lovers who are also passionate in their support of veterans causes, The Ladies for Liberty are excited to come to the Humane Society of Sarasota (HSSC), home of the Military Matches Program that provides adoptions free of charge to veterans and members of the military! Proceeds from this event will benefit HSSC’s lifesaving mission!
HSSC is the area’s premier no-kill shelter, meaning no adoptable pet is ever euthanized to make space for another. HSSC saved 2,730 animal lives in 2022. Of the 2,168 adoptions in 2022, 130 of them were to active-duty and retired U.S. service members. A goal of this ‘Salute to Veterans’ event is to raise awareness of HSSC’s Military Matches program, which is presented by Sun Outdoors Sarasota with support from KW Suncoast.
HSSC engages the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals and promote responsible pet ownership. From the Helping Hands Program, a need-based emergency medical fund, to the Humane Education Program that is teaching our next generation to love and respect animals, HSSC’s staff and volunteers and partners work together to make our community and our state a better place.
Join us in support of the Humane Society of Sarasota County and enjoy this amazing performance! You’ll be tapping your toes and dancing in your seat!
Doors open at 6pm on Monday, March 6, 2023, at the Humane Society of Sarasota County. The Show begins at 7pm. Refreshments available. Free tickets for veterans will be posted as they become available through sponsorship support and can be secured through this site.
For additional information or to sponsor a table to provide free tickets for veterans, please contact Jaime Limoges at 941.955.4131 x103 or jlimoges@hssc.org.
