Charities

Rev. Connie with Diamond Jim, her new friend from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah.
Rev. Connie was asked to perform a wedding ceremony at Best Friends in 2011
and donated her time to volunteer at the Sanctuary while she was there.

Best Friends is the Number One Charity of Choice
for Rev. Connie's wedding Couples since 2007.

Rev. Connie and Tammy from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Tammy is accepting a check for $175 in honor of a couple's wedding day!

Rev. Connie will be featured in an upcoming issue of Best Friends Magazine for her donations to the cause for the past four years.
