Make a Donation or Become a PHINNEY'S Holiday FESTIVAL Sponsor
By becoming an event sponsor you will directly impact the success of this incredibly important fundraising campaign and directly help pets and their families!
For the past 24 years, with the support of our partners and volunteers, Phinney’s Friends has provided financial assistance and pet care, as well as food, fostering, transportation, advice and education to pet owners in need. Last year, we responded to over 1,500 requests and spent $49K on veterinary services that included surgeries, diagnostics, medication, vet visits, and spay/neuter services.
The next Paws for the Holidays Festival will take place at Pierce House in Lincoln, MA on November 2021. To ensure that the event is a success, we are advertising on social media, physical signage, and public radio, with an estimated reach of 9,500 people. Over 400 people attended the 2019 holiday festival, with $8,000 raised. This year, we aim to host over 500 attendees and raise over $10,000 dollars so that we can double the number of pets served in Massachusetts.
We can only reach these goals with your support. Will you become a sponsor and help Phinney’s Friends keep pets and their families together?
