Pet Guests to Dine on HALO, Purely for Pets® Food, Treats at Pets for Patriots DC Fundraiser
Pets for Patriots secures HALO as exclusive pet food sponsor for its inaugural celebration in Washington, DC.
New York, NY, May 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Pets for Patriots, a 501(c)(3) organization connecting at-risk shelter pets with service and veteran members of the United States military, is proud to announce HALO, Purely for Pets® as the exclusive pet food sponsor for the charity’s inaugural Be A Pet’s HeroTM Celebration. The event takes place on May 25 from 6pm-8pm at Washington, DC’s historic Eastern Market.
“Naturally, we were thrilled when HALO offered to be the exclusive pet food and treat sponsor for our four-legged party guests,” says Beth Zimmerman, founder and executive director of Pets for Patriots. “Not only do they produce high-quality, all natural pet food and products, but their ongoing philanthropic support of shelter animals across the country aligns perfectly with our charitable mission.”
The May 25 event is the charity’s inaugural celebration and fundraising event, and a signal of its commitment to the District of Columbia metro community, which is home to many service members, veterans and needy pets. The Washington Humane Society is the charity’s local adoption partner and will bring several Pets for Patriots-eligible pets to the event.
“Something magical happens when our nation’s patriots adopt special needs shelter pets in critical need of loving, forever homes,” said David Yaskulka, Halo’s Vice President of Marketing Communications. “We’re honored to join Freekibble.com to support Pets for Patriots. They help make the magic of pet parenthood achievable and affordable for our nation’s veterans.”
In addition to providing edibles for pet guests, HALO will donate product gift bags for people to take home.
“Every adoption made through our program saves and celebrates two lives, that of the pet and that of the veteran,” says Ms. Zimmerman. “With the support of HALO, we can elevate the conversation about the loving care that companion animals everywhere deserve, but do not always receive.”
General Dynamics is title sponsor of the celebration. Pets for Patriots is further supported through the generosity of Bechtel, BAE Systems, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, SAIC, Trident Technology Solutions, DRS Defense Solutions, ADI, Innovative Federal Strategies, Dennis Miller Associates, KarshHagan, Freekibble, Beer Institute, Wine Institute, Occasions Catering and JBV Productions.
