11 Savannah Businesses Accept Coastal Pet Rescue Big Give Challenge
(Savannah, GA) - March 17, 2008
On March 6, Coastal Pet Rescue issued a Big Give challenge to Savannah area businesses to enlist their support and services to keep Coastal Pet Rescue open to our area’s homeless pets.
Understanding the value of Coastal Pet Rescue’s service to the community, 11 businesses accepted the challenge:
* Daniel Kitchen & Bath
* Moesch Media
* Habersham Beverage
* The New South Cafe
* You Need Fitness
* Coastal Trade Banc
* First City Events
* Southern Charm Photography
* City of Tybee Island
* Elegant Gifts
* Synergy Advertising/Production
“We are incredibly thankful to the help we’ve received,” says Lisa Scarbrough, president and founder of Coastal Pet Rescue. “Every little bit makes a huge difference and really helps us to keep going.”
In addition to some financial contributions, the businesses have provided advertising, volunteer manpower, and incentives to other donors.
The Coastal Pet Rescue Big Give Challenge is still open to all area businesses as funds are still needed to cover veterinary expenses.
“We have lots of needs, ranging from a new roof on our storage shed and alignment for our rescue vehicle to dry pet food and cleaning supplies for our foster homes,” says Scarbrough.
Businesses who would like to get involved may contact Coastal Pet Rescue at 912-228-3538 or visit http://www.coastalpetrescue.org/big-give.php for more information.
