An avid animal activist, Emmanuelle works to support various organizations focused on animal rescue and wellbeing across the United States and Canada through various fund raising efforts.

In 2009, Emmanuelle established her own charity event called ‘The Fluffball’ at her home, where she raised $6,000 in one afternoon. Since then, the event has grown to become an exclusive, invite‐only event that has supported various animal‐rescue organizations across the country.

In the first three years, the event raised funds for the Utah‐based organization Best Friends Animal Society, which launched a successful No Kill LA (NKLA) campaign in Los Angeles. Emmanuelle's dream and vision didn't stop at hosting a great event, but wanting to take The Fluffball event further by creating a way to raise awareness and funds of many deserving animal organizations across the US, which is why she created The Fluffball Foundation ™.

HORSES N HEROES

In 2023, The Fluffball Foundation announced its partnership with Florida-based Horses N Heroes, a nonprofit that provides an equine learning and mentoring experience for young girls who come from families with extreme financial constraints. The program is provided free of charge for all students in the program.

Horses N Heroes provides a safe and encouraging atmosphere where girls are given the opportunity to learn to ride, care for, and bond with the horses. Through that experience, they gain self-esteem and learn about responsibility, team work, kindheartedness, commitment and self-worth.

The horses in the program, many of whom spent years on the competitive show circuit, are given a new lease on life in the twilight of their careers. They are loved and cared for every day by the girls and in return, they do what sometimes only a horse can do best, heal the human soul.
