Pennies 4 Pets - A Big Success!

Pennies 4 Pets Supporters Raise $40,000 for the Valley Animal Center!

Thank you to everyone who made donations or volunteered to collect change during the Valley Animal Center's Pennies for Pets Change Campaign which wrapped up earlier this month!
We have received approximately $40,000 towards our $50,000 goal for the shelter. And if you still have change to donate - it's not too late! Bring your donations by the Valley Animal Center anytime between 9 am and 5 pm Monday - Friday, and between 10:00 am and 4:30 pm Saturdays and Sundays.


Highlights from the 2010 Pennies 4 Pets Fundraiser:

Valley Animal Center volunteers talked to hundreds of guests at Big Hat Days in Old Town Clovis - promoting the fundraiser and helping some of our Adorable Adoptables find homes!

Crocker the dog was featured on ABC 30's Valley Focus, and found a loving home after working hard to promote the Pennies 4 Pets campaign.

Garfield Elementary School raised more than $900 for the animals! Go Cubs - thank you for your continued support!

The Valley Animal Center joined Gnarly Charlie from KISS Country for fun live radio remotes, collecting donations for the animals while helping the station raffle off the ever-coveted Taylor Swift concert tickets!

And last but not least...

The Paw Party with Event Sponsor Union Bank was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered collecting change on the street corners, and to everyone who brought their donations to the 2010 fundraiser into the Fashion Fair Mall branch during the party on May 1st. We really appreciate all of your support!
