SankyNet Helps PetSmart Charities® Hurricane Relief Efforts
September 21st, 2008
On Saturday September 13, after crossing Cuba and raging through the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Ike made landfall at Galveston, Texas. Both people and their pets were in dire need of assistance after this devastating storm. By Monday afternoon, SankyNet had quickly created and distributed an emergency e-appeal to help PetSmart Charities to raise the funds they would need to respond to this crisis. And respond they did.
PetSmart Charities® deployed its Emergency Relief Waggin’® to assist groups managing vital rescue operations on the front lines… providing 16 tons of emergency animal-care and volunteer supplies valued at $50,000. Supplies include pet food, crates, beds, bowls, litter and litter pans, and other necessary animal-care items, as well as a generator, fans, tents, a battery charger, lights and other supplies to assist the volunteers on site who are caring for displaced companion animals.
SankyNet is proud to have helped PetSmart Charities in their heroic effort. If you would like to learn more about our fundraising efforts for PetSmart Charities, please click here.
