We believe that those of us who are blessed with “enough” should give back and help those less fortunate. Chapin Hill Advisors supports a not for profit at each of their networking events. The charities receive a lot of visibility, meet the attendees and potentially add supporters, volunteers and donors. Chapin Hill donates to each of the supported charities after each event.
Chapin Hill’s president, Kathy Boyle, has a personal passion for animal rescue so there are rescue organizations supported in all three networks. Kathy also supports organizations which promote health, wellness, care for children and or assistance to those in need.
Chapin Hill has supported these organizations:
NYC Networking Extravaganza’s

Looking Glass Animal Rescue
http://lgarinc.org/our-mission/
Through the looking glass, things are not as they appear to be.”
This is never held such truth than when one looks at the many dogs in municipal shelters that are ragged, neglected, sick, injured, behaviorally challenged or otherwise “less than perfect”. Yet, when one looks past all that, what can be seen is an inner beauty just waiting to be recognized and nurtured into a healthful state. That is what we are about – taking the most unwanted of the unwanted, seeing them not for what they are but, for what they can be, dedicating the resources and the love needed to make that possibility a reality.
Bide a Wee
Founded in 1903, Bide a Wee is the oldest animal shelter in NYC. Built by the river as unwanted pets and horses used to be brought to the Hudson to drown, BAW owns their building, has an operating veterinary clinic and two locations, in NYC and Wantagh, NY.
Friends of Karen
http://www.friendsofkaren.org/
Founded by Shelia Petersen whose family friend had a daughter, Karen MacInes, a 16-year old diagnosed with a terminal genetic disease. After months of staying in a NYC hospital over 55 miles away from her suburban home, Karen wanted to be cared for at home in her last month’s on earth. Shelia rallied the community to help offset the medical bills incurred by Karen’s family. After her death, she founded Friends of Karen to provide support to families with children diagnosed with cancer and other serious illnesses.

Ridgefield Operation Animal Rescue
http://www.roar-ridgefield.org/
Our Mission
ROAR was founded on the simple principle that we would provide animals in need with the same love, car and compassion we show our own family pets, Since we opened our doors in 2005, we have placed almost 4,500 neglected and unwanted cats and dogs in caring homes throughout Ridgefield and our surrounding towns.
But our mission does not end at our shelter’s door. ROAR’s staff and volunteers are also committed to enhancing the remarkable bond between people and pets through our education and outreach programs, enriching the equality of lives throughout our community. For example, ROAR is 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.

In these graceful surroundings, young and old can experience the rich, renewing world of nature. Our woodland trails are open to all, sunrise to sunset, everyday of the year.
