PACC911 partners with AACM to feed hungry animals!
 Friday, August 14th, was a HUGE, very successful, one-day pet food drive. AACM helped the rescue community by providing donated food for hundreds of hungry animals in need. Donated food was divided amongst the PACC911 partnering rescue groups to assist them in these difficult times. A huge thanks to AACM for doing this for the rescued animals of the Valley and a big thanks to Villa La Paws Cage Free Pet Resort & Spa in Phoenix for serving as the food drop off location.
Bowl-A-Rama for Animal Rescue raises over $220,000!
Nearly $1.4 million has been raised through this annual event,
with 95% going directly to animal welfare organizations throughout the Valley.
Our 7th Annual Bowl-A-Rama for Animal Rescue successfully raised more than $220,000 despite the challenging economy. The event, held at the AMF Scottsdale Lanes, is the first Saturday of every August, which was proclaimed the PACC911 Bowl-A-Rama for Animal Rescue Day by former Gov. Napolitano and Mayor Phil Gordon. This year, more than 60 animal rescue groups participated, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio was onhand to deliver a message about the state of animal welfare in Maricopa County. Event sponsors, including Petco, ICE Vacations and Villa La PAWS Pet Resort, helped PACC911 reach this year’s fundraising total. All funds raised through PACC911 directly support animals in need through the Emergency Medical Fund (EMF), which provides financial aid to Valley nonprofit animal welfare groups needing assistance with special medical costs.
