Hughey, ’89, promotes musicians, fundraises for wolves – but not at the same time
Not every job includes wine and cheese wolf howl events, but Cheryl Hughey’s does. Hughey, ’89, has just started a new position at the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka, Mo., coordinating the center’s annual fund. In addition, she continues to run Cheryl Hughey Promotions, her business providing public relations services to musicians and music events. The Endangered Wolf Center, founded by famed conservationists Marlin and Carol Perkins, has worked to rescue several wolf species from extinction. The center used to be known as the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center. Hughey says the nonprofit is working to raise its profile nationally, while continuing to raise funds for storage buildings, trailers, tools and more that are helpful in the care of the wolves and the land at the center. more >> |
