The Lamar County Humane Association was awarded their prize money for their win in the PETCO Foundation’s 100 Celebrations Contest on Facebook.
The check was presented to the Humane Association on Saturday morning at Paris’ PetCo store. A plaque was also given to General Manager and Store Associates of Paris PetCo for their contributions in helping the Lamar County Humane Association to be a part of the PETCO Foundation’s 100 Celebrations Contest.
Staff and associates at the Paris Petco wrote essays to the foundation to nominate our Humane Association for the contest. Only 100 non-profit organizations across the country were chosen and over 200,000 votes were cast to decide the 10 winners.
The top 10 won $10,000…the Lamar County Humane Association came in ninth with just over 5000 votes.
It is amazing to see this small community step up to take on a national contest like this one. Congratulations to the Lamar County Humane Association and the Paris PetCo.
