OLTL's Hillary B. Smith fans and dog lovers bid now for a good cause!
If you are a lover of Hillary B. Smith’s, Nora on One Life to Live and Guya on Venice, this is your chance to win a piece of Hillary memorabilia and do it for a good cause! Starting today, Sunday February 28th and every Sunday for the next six months, Hillary along with her good friend, author Lindsay Harrison have embarked on a charitable endeavor to raise funds for the Willie-Coppee Fund that services clients of the CA-based Sherman Oaks Veterinary Group. The fund was established several years ago to honor the memory of their beloved dogs, Willie (Lindsay’s Bichon Frise) and Coppee (Hillary’s Golden Retriever), and serves to discreetly assist pet owners who may be struggling with overwhelming veterinary bills. Endowments that assist pet owners are incredibly important in today’s challenged economy, as countless individuals are unable to provide routine care and medically necessary services for their furry friends.
Make sure you go http://williecoppeefund.blogspot.com/ for information, and fun images with Hillary and Lindsay and man’s best friends. The first item up for bids on ebay ( which you can also get by going to the website listed above) is a must have for any Hillary fan. A reel of the classic 1993 rape trial in which Hillary won the Outstanding Lead Actress Daytime Emmy! And a special note for Venice fans: The official W-C mascot (Lindsay’s dog, “Dude”) will be portraying Guya’s special-needs dog in Season 2 of Venice! Crystal Chappell recently shot some footage of Hillary with Dude that should be up on the Venice site shortly.
