Casey Wilson and Craig Ferguson Will Join Lily Tomlin for VFTA Comedy Fundraiser
Voice for the Animals Foundation presents "Wait Wait...Don't Kill Me!," a night of unforgettable comedy and entertainment that will hilariously take on the year in animal news, views and other topical animal events.
"Panelists" Lily Tomlin and June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), will be joined by the just-announced Craig Ferguson (The Craig Ferguson Show) and Casey Wilson (Happy Endings) to compete in this quiz-show formatted event by fielding questions from host Paul Scheer (The League).
All proceeds will support VFTA as they continue their fight for creating respect and empathy for animals through education, rescue, legislation and advocacy, including their work to move Billy the Elephant from the L.A. Zoo to a sanctuary (#FreeBillyNow).

The Voice For The Animals show will be held on May 6th at UCLA's Royce Hall, located at 340 Royce Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90095.
Voice For The Animals (VFTA) is a 501c3, non-profit charitable foundation which is devoted to creating respect and empathy for animals through education, rescue, legislation, and advocacy. The organization was founded by Melya Kaplan in 1999 when she realized that although there were many great rescuers, there was a dire need for a new type of animal protection organization with programs to empower people to help more animals. VFTA has many programs that focus on animal protection, including an Animal Assistance Hotline, Rescue and Adoption, Working Cats, LA Zoo Watch, Helping Friends, Abuse Prevention, Humane Education, Political Animal, Feral Colonies, VFTA in Greece, Animal Films, and an Elephants in Captivity Awareness Campaign. The Captivity is Not Conservation campaign is devoted to educating people about the plight of BILLY THE ELEPHANT and his life in captivity. Connect with the Voices for the Animals Foundation and #FreeBillyNow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
