Canadian actress and former model Tricia Helfer is one of Hollywood's rising acting talents, best known for her portrayal of humanoid Cylon Number Six on Syfy's critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica. More recently, Helfer has starred in e.g. Andrew Paquin’s Open House and can currently be seen as Alex Clark on NBC's The Firm. Helfer is also an active benefactor of animal and environmental causes.

We’ve finally managed to update the gallery today with the first picture of Tricia Helfer at the 4th Annual Kitten Rescue Fur Ball on October 16. Unfortunately, pictures from the event are still proving hard to find, but we’ll keep looking.
Just a quick heads-up that we’ve updated the gallery with two medium-res photos of Tricia Helfer at Kimberly Ovitz’s ASPCA Benefit on Wednesday. Unfortunately, we’ve yet to find any pictures from last weekend’s Kitten Rescue Fur Ball, but we’ll keep looking. :)
Don’t forget Tricia Helfer will be attending the Kitten Rescue Fur Ball at the House of Blues in Hollywood, CA tomorrow, October 15. Tickets to the event could still be available, so don’t miss out on this prime opportunity to meet Tricia and get your tix now via www.kittenrescue.org! All proceeds from the event will go to Kitten Rescue.
Kitten Rescue is once again organizing its annual Fur Ball benefit this year on October 16 at the House of Blues in Hollywood, CA. We asked Tricia on Twitter whether or not she was planning to attend, and she kindly responded to us as follows:
@triciahelferfan@KittenRescue As long as filming doesn’t pull me away, I’ll be at #TheFurBall and it’s at The House of Blues this year!! (Sep 14)
The Fur Ball at the House of Blues will feature celebrity guests, cocktails and Hors D’Oevres, dinner, live music, a silent auction, raffle and much more! All proceeds of the fundraiser will benefit Kitten Rescue’s programs and the Kitten Rescue Sanctuary. We hope to see you there!
There are two types of tickets available for the Fur Ball: general admission and reserved seating. This event is not a traditional banquet-style fundraiser as we’ve had in the past, and guests will be able to mingle and move around throughout the venue, although there will be plenty of bar and high-table seating available to rest up and have a bite to eat. In addition, there will be a few banquet-style tables set up on the dance floor in front of the main stage; seats at one of these tables will be available on an individual reserved basis or tables may be reserved in their entirety.
General admission tickets are $100 each. Reserved seats are $175 each, or $1600 for an entire table of 10.
Kitten Rescue is one of the largest and most respected animal welfare groups in Los Angeles and one of Tricia’s dearest charities. The annual Fur Ball is therefore a prime opportunity to both meet Tricia (provided her schedule doesn’t get in the way) and contribute to a good cause. Tickets are now available at www.kittenrescue.org.
Check out this video from ActingOutlaws.org, in which best friends and Battlestar Galactica co-stars Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff talk about their upcoming “LA La” road trip from Los Angeles, CA, to New Orleans, LA, beginning October 22. Their venture is part of Tricia and Katee’s new charity organization Acting Outlaws, and is aimed at raising funds and awareness to The Gulf Restoration Network, The Gulf Coast Fund and The Gulf Future Campaign.

… And we’re back! Some will surely have wondered at the lack of updates here for the past seven days — the long and short of it is that I, personally, has a serious connection malfunction at home which has taken this many days and about as many angry phone calls to my ISP to fix. Needless to say, we have a lot of week-old news to cover in the next few days; we’re sorry we weren’t able to update about them at our usual speed, but we hope you understand it was out of our hands. So let’s just get to the updates, shall we?
Beginning today with Tricia Helfer’s September 11 appearance at the Fur Ball at the Skirball 3rd Annual Kitten Rescue Fundraiser at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California. Hosted by The Office-star Jenna Fischer, Tricia was in attendance at the event as scheduled, and was joined there by husband Jonathan Marshall, Battlestar Galactica co-star and best friend Katee Sackhoff, 24-star Mark Derwin, as well as four lucky fans who were the highest bidders at Tricia’s Angel Table eBay ticket auctions. All proceeds from the event and Tricia’s ticket auctions went to the Los Angeles-based animal shelter, Kitten Rescue. First 40 photos of Tricia (& co.) at the event at our gallery!

Some small, but exciting event news and goodies today!
To begin with, according to Tricia Helfer’s official site, Tricia will be attending the 3rd Annual Fur Ball at the SkirballKitten Rescue fundraiser Saturday, September 11 2010 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA. The event will once again be hosted by The Office-star Jenna Fischer. Tickets are $125 apiece ($1250 for an Angel Table with seating for 10); details and ticket purchases are available via KittenRescue.org. Be sure to book your seat, if you’re able to attend. It’s for a good cause, after all, and you’ll of course have a chance to meet Tricia in person!
Speaking of events and good causes, a couple of days ago on July 15, Tricia attended the BTC and Artists & Athletes Alliance-hosted Evening with Philippe Cousteau in Beverly Hills, CA, a briefing on the ongoing BP oil spill catastrophe on the Gulf Coast. Battlestar Galactica‘s Edward James Olmos was also among the attendants. According to Tricia’s official site, she and Battlestar Galactica co-star Katee Sackhoff are working on an oil spill fundraiser; additional details should be coming soon. If you’re interested in the Cousteau event and want to learn more about the subject, there’s a great and informative report on it at ServiceNation.org.
In the absence of fresher news, we instead have a lovely little update on last December’s 2nd Annual Fur Ball at the Skirball Kitten Rescue Fundraiser, which Tricia Helfer attended alongside husband Jonathan Marshall. The event was hosted by The Office-actress Jenna Fischer, and was also attended by Tricia’s Battlestar Galactica co-stars Tahmoh Penikett and Katee Sackhoff.
We’ve updated the gallery with 7 medium-res photos of Tricia and Jonathan at the event, courtesy of the Kitten Rescue Flickr photo stream. These are the first photos we’ve had from inside the event venue (and of Jonathan at the event), and particularly nice since there has been only a handful of photos available to us from this event to begin with. The pictures furthermore reveal that Tricia and Jonathan purchased the $1,250 “Angel Table” for the event.
Finally, please consider making a donation to Kitten Rescue, the Los Angeles-based no-kill animal shelter and one of Tricia’s dearest animal charities:
Kitten Rescue spends nearly $300,000 a year on its cats and rescue programs. Most of this money comes from the generosity of private donors like you. Whether you are visiting us from just around the corner or from across several continents, you can touch the lives of the many deserving, wonderful animals in our care. There are many ways you can help, and every dollar means so much. The kitties thank you for your support!
First photos from the fundraiser! As reported earlier, Tricia Helfer was indeed present at the Saturday, December 52nd Annual “Fur Ball at the Skirball” Kitten Rescue Fundraiser in Los Angeles, CA, where fellow Battlestar Galactica stars Katee Sackhoff and Tahmoh Penikett also appeared to show their support. The gallery has been updated with our first seven medium-res photos of Tricia at the event. We’re hoping to be able to add more photos from this event in the coming days, so do check back with us for updates!
Don’t forget Tricia Helfer is expected to attend the 2nd Annual “Fur Ball at the Skirball”Kitten Rescue fundraising gala today, December 5 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA. The event will again be hosted by The Office-star Jenna Fischer. We’re hoping there will be media coverage from the event, so do check back with us for updates!
Also, if you feel you have even a bit of money to spare, please consider donating a few dollars to Kitten Rescue, the Los Angeles-based animal shelter that is one of Tricia’s dearest charities. Being myself an animal rights advocate, I try to support the organization with my private donations whenever I can, and hope that in this way, via Tricia Helfer Fan, I am able to encourage someone else to do the same. Even if it’s just a few dollars, I’m sure every little helps! Please visit KittenRescue.org for more information on how to donate. Thank you!
