Animal Humane New Mexico
Work with and for Animal Humane New Mexico continues to be one of the most important contributions that Vivian makes to Albuquerque's community. AHNM was the reason for Vivian's first foray into hosting her own burlesque event back on July 24, 2010, and that show was the catalyst which eventually created Gilded Cage Burlesk & Varieté. That one show raised well over $1,000.00 for Animal Humane New Mexico, and since then Vivian has continued to donate financially on her own, and on behalf of the Gilded Cage.
