Ivana Trump’s Legacy of Love and Giving Lives On
Family asks for donations to Big Dog Ranch Rescue in lieu of flowers
New York City, NY / Palm Beach County, FL – July 18, 2022 – Ivana Trump, a woman admired for her many talents and joyous personality, devoted much of her time and resources to helping others throughout her life. In recognition of her steadfast and enduring love of animals, the family is requesting that donations be made to Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Lieu of flowers.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue Founder and CEO, Lauree Simmons, says “Ivana was a survivor. She fled communism, embraced America and raised three exceptional children who also devote their time and resources to many charities including Big Dog Ranch Rescue. I am honored that the family has asked the multitudes who love Ivana to support our mission of saving dogs at risk in her name. It’s seems appropriate that someone who was a true survivor and huge dog lover will now help our rescues survive their own difficult circumstances and to find their own loving families. Ivana will help us from heaven above to save more innocent dogs lives.”
The support comes at a time when shelters and rescues nationwide are receiving record numbers of owner surrenders as families give up their beloved pets due to high food, gas and rents prompted by inflation.
The Trump family has supported the work of Big Dog Ranch Rescue for over a decade. Eric and Lara Trump frequently participate in BDRR fundraisers to save dogs and Lara has been instrumental in garnering legislation that prevents animal cruelty including the ban on Greyhound racing in Florida.
Donations may be made in Ivana Trumps name through this link:
