Co-chairs of the Tri-County Animal Rescue Andrea Stark, Janna Bullock, Jean Shafiroff and Adrien Arpel hosted a luncheon to honor Sir Darius Brown with the Tri-County Rescue’s Young Leadership Award at Stark’s beautiful penthouse. Sir Darius is the founder of Beaux & Paws, where he creates handmade stylish bow ties to help shelter dogs and cats find their forever home.
Midway through the luncheon, Andrea Stark took the floor to thank everyone for attending, before sitting with honoree Sir Darius Brown to begin a Q&A session. During the Q&A, Sir Darius stated, “I realized if people look really great in bow ties why can’t dogs and cats. So, after donating my bow ties to my first animal shelter, the ASPCA in New York, I realized that if dogs stay in shelters for too long, they can be euthanized and that really hurt me because I never knew, and I should have.” He continued, “I felt that I needed to do something to spread awareness and now I have made it my mission to help as many dogs and cats around the world as possible.”
The Q&A ended with Stark presenting Sir Darius with a beautiful London Jewelers watch from President and animal advocate Candy Udell, who could not be in attendance, and the Tri-County Rescue’s Young Leadership Award for his unwavering commitment to helping animals. The presentation ended with Stark inviting guests to attend the upcoming Tri-County Animal Rescue Peppermint Bark & Brunch benefit in Palm Beach on Sunday, November 21, 2021.
The intimate luncheon was attended by 30 guests, who enjoyed passed hors’ d’oeuvres, cocktails and beautiful table spreads filled with fine cheeses, pasta salads and more. Those in attendance included Allison Monaco, Andrea Warshaw-Wernick, Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Helene Kaye Kaplan, John Stark, Joy Brown, Kathy Gantz, Liliana Cavendish, Maria Fishel, Pamela Morgan, Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, Sharon Bush and Wendy Diamond.
