About STAUD
In 2015, Sarah ‘Staud’ Staudinger and George Augusto co-founded the LA-based lifestyle brand STAUD upon the idea that fashion shouldn’t just empower women — it should be accessible, too. At the heart of STAUD is design. Crafted at the intersection of timeless classics and perfected novelty, STAUD offers a collection to the modern woman who appreciates both. With an emphasis on originality and joy through the lens of elevated discovery, each season is a detailed narrative speaking to our wardrobe aspirations. If fashion is a never-ending pursuit of style, then STAUD is what happens after you’ve found it.
About Love Leo Rescue
Love Leo Rescue is a non-profit based in Los Angeles founded by Sasha Abelson. We are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abused, injured, abandoned and forgotten dogs. We provide medical care, training, and other services to the dogs in our care to help prepare them for adoption and forever homes. Many dogs we rescue require complicated surgeries and costly medical care. In addition, to get to the root of the problem, we launched a spay and neuter program which provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to people and their pets living in low income and underserved areas. We are dedicated to helping battle the pet overpopulation problem through rescue and preventative programs. To date, we have spayed/neutered close to 2600 dogs/cats. Our celebrity fans, supporters and endorsers include Lily Collins, Camilla Belle, Jennifer Aniston, Nikki Reed, Kate Mara, Paul Wesley, Hilary Duff, Olivia Munn, Victoria Justice, Jonah Hill (if you can please remove him as he’s been a bit controversial) and many more.
About Santa Barbara Humane:
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Santa Barbara Humane is the oldest animal welfare agency in Santa Barbara County, serving the community for over 135 years. The organization’s two campuses in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria provide low-cost veterinary care, affordable dog training, adoption, and socially conscious sheltering for local animals, whether they are with a loving family or at the shelter waiting for a home of their own. Because Santa Barbara Humane does not receive any federal funding, it relies on donor support to help thousands of animals and families each year in Santa Barbara County.
