PETCO is once again a Charitable Partner of the Animal Krewe!
PETCO and the PETCO
Foundation do their part to raise funds to benefit animal organizations nationwide through their annual
Tree of Hope Fundraiser, which runs from November 18, 2008 through December 24, 2008.
Seventy
percent of the funds donated by PETCO's customers, associates and vendors
during the five-week campaign will immediately go to the thousands of organizations PETCO partners
with in the communities they share. The remaining thirty percent will be provided to animal welfare
organizations in the areas where the money was raised during the balance of the year.
The
Foundation believes part of its success in raising money is tied to the fact
that donors know their contributions stay in their communities, and it is one of the few pet
retail-related fundraising organizations that takes this type of grassroots approach to
supporting animal welfare.
"There
are thousands of animals across the country that will benefit from our store visitors' generosity.
We're deeply grateful to be able to organize and distribute this collection effort each year on behalf of all of those
animals who depend on us for their well-being," says PETCO Foundation Vice President and Director Paul Jolly.
