WILD CAT SANCTUARY
Morgan the Bobcat
Morgan dated 2012
|
Morgan, a 9-month-old bobcat was named after
Morgan Fairchild in honor of the efforts she went to to save the
young bobcat. Morgan was found in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in
San Diego, CA. Apparently, a worker brought her across the border as
a baby. When she became too much for him to handle, he abandoned her
in a room at the hotel. She was rescued by the California Wildlife
Center where they hoped to rehab her and release her back into the
wild. However, she had imprinted from her human caretaker and the
Dept. of Fish and Game deemed her unreleasable. So, they started a
search for a sanctuary for her. If one had not been found, she would
have had to have been euthanized (per DFG). Morgan reached out to
some of her contacts, and was able to assist in finding a new home
for Morgan the Bobcat at the Wild Cat Sanctuary in Sandstone,
Minnesota, where she eagerly joined her new best friend, Shalico, a
young Canadian Lynx. For more information, please

Make A Wish Foundation
The Second Annual We Promise Foundation Make-A-Wish Gala was hosted by WAVY News 10's Kerri Furey and the Master of Ceremonies or MC was Morgan Fairchild. "It's very touching when you hear their stories. It's not just that the kids are adorable, it's the process these kids have gone through," said Morgan. The Chartway Federal Credit Union has been raising money for Make-A-Wish with a golf tournament for 9 years now, but two years ago President Ron Burniske realized they could do more. The group has made around 250 dreams come true. "That one moment makes them feel so normal .. forget their illnesses," said Phil Richards, Chairman of the We Promise Foundation. With this silent auction and gala, people here hope to make even more dreams come true. Last year's gala raised $350-thousand. Organizers expect to exceed that this year.
Here are a few photos of Morgan from her trip to Virginia Beach in Sept., 2006 to do a We Promise Foundation event that supports the Make A Wish Foundation.

Fashion House Diva Morgan Fairchild Helps At Risk Youth
|
Daniel's Dish Just a brief social note: I recently
attended the "Glass Menagerie," a lovely little benefit for GLASS
(Gay and Lesbian Adolescent Social Services) in nearby West Hollywood,
Calif. They help homeless and at risk gay youth with food, shelter, job
training, mentorship, etc. Let's face it, not all gay folks have family as
cool and understanding as my mom — some kids are rejected and abandoned
by their kin just for being different. It's a sin, but it happens. |
