Meet Suzi Goldsmith, Honorary Co-Chair - Annual Emerald Awards Celebration

While on a visit to Tri-County Animal Rescue in Boca Raton, GSSEF staff met with Executive Director, Suzi Goldsmith and were taken on a tour of the shelter by Front Desk Supervisor, Pam DuBois. Tri-County Animal Rescue is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter working to prevent the killing of over 170,000 unwanted pets in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties each year. Since their inception, they have saved over 50,000 domestic animals from being euthanized, placing them in homes through their adoption center.

Suzi also generously dedicates time to GSSEF, serving as Honorary Co-Chair of our Annual Emerald Awards Celebration. Joining her in 2015 is Lois Pope, a nationally prominent philanthropist. Lois is

also the recipient of the first Lifetime Achievement Award for Philanthropy given at this year's Inaugural Emerald Awards Celebration, an honor that Lois will pass on to a new deserving recipient at next year's event.

Mark your calendars now and save the date for the Annual Emerald Awards Celebration, which will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2015 at the Beach Club on Palm Beach.
