Ms. Hayward has worked diligently to promote animal welfare and to raise funds through her non-profit
BeKind.org
, which helps animals in need through different ventures including funding organizations and projects. In the past, she has combined forces with Wayne Pacelle and the Humane Society of the US on a number of initiatives -- including the nation-wide campaign to ban the barbaric “Conibear” traps that caused the untimely death of the Long Island dog Zephyr last Fall; and to increase animal cancer awareness through prevention and awareness as the deadly disease caused the death of her beloved rescued Bahamian Potcake Amigo this past year.
The week before Frances was a chair at Simmons “Art For Life” benefit. In this past year, Frances, Russell Simmons and Pacelle have worked together on different initiatives to raise awareness and funds for animals, including their recent national Public Service Announcement to stop dog fighting and the horrific practice of dog baiting. The national campaign by the trio first created a buzz around the country with the Michael Vick sentencing and most recently with the Pit Bull attacks in New York City.
