 Stage and screen
stars Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, husband and wife in real
life, will team up with their Border Collie, Sally, as "Celebrity Co-chairs,"
who along with "Honorary Chair Dog" Wishbone, the "tale"-wagging TV canine,
are lending their support to the fifth annual Pets, People & Parks! A
prelude to National Pet Month in May, the event will feature Soap Opera
Stars who will gather with dog and park lovers in Van Cortlandt Park to
raise funds for the park and the soon-to-be-opened Van Cortlandt Park Dog
Playground.
Pack a picnic lunch (people and dog food) and enjoy a special performance by Tom Brackney's Madcap Mutts from Broadway's Will Rogers Follies and the Radio City Music Hall Easter Show. | |
