Stars Show Support for Operation Toto Relief

Celebrity magician Matt Wayne is about to perform his most amazing feat– making a bit of the anguish suffered by animals during the Alabama tornadoes disappear.

Touched by the tragedy in Tuscaloosa, Matt Wayne established Operation Toto Relief, a humane relief effort which will provide dog and cat food, blankets and other animal supplies to pets affected by the recent natural disaster. On May 8, 2011 the entertainer will embark on a 1,044 mile journey from New York City to Tuscaloosa to distribute donations from pet food companies and caring individuals to Canant Veterinary Hospital, Metro Animal Shelter and The Humane Society of West Alabama.

Several stars are also showing their support for Toto Relief by offering 8X10 autographed photos as thank you gifts for donations of $50 or more, including:
