“Pats Peak Becomes Pets Peak” - Donates $2,100 And Pet Supplies To Help The Needy Animals
“Pats Peak became Pets Peak” on March 12-15, 2018 as part of their Midweek March Online Specials. Skiers and snowboarders were able to purchase a lift ticket online in advance to ski/ride at Pats Peak for only $30. For every online ticket sold, a portion of their lift ticket went toward a donation to the Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County. A total of $2,100 was donated to help needy pets from the lift ticket sales. The total that has been raised in the past ten years during the “Pets Peak Becomes Pets Peak” event is over $31,000.
Skiers were also encouraged to bring at least three pet items to get a $10 Pats Peak Café Card for use in the Pats Peak Cafeteria. Many skiers and riders brought in donations including dog and cat food, toys, collars, leashes and treats for dogs and cats.
Kris Blomback, General Manager of Pats Peak said, “Ten years ago when we were thinking of spring specials we thought it would be fun to change ‘Pats Peak to Pets Peak’. We love animals and it’s great that our skiers and snowboarders love animals as much as we do. We are happy to be able to support this worthy cause with monetary and supply donations to help the needy animals.”
Heather Faria, Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County Executive Director says, "We are so happy to know that the recent snowfall in March was enjoyed by many and for the benefit of homeless pets in need. Two paws up to Pats Peak!"
The Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County (formerly the Concord-Merrimack County SPCA) was founded in 1910 to relieve suffering and prevent cruelty to animals and to educate society on the importance of being just and compassionate to all living things. The Pope Memorial SPCA of Concord-Merrimack County is dedicated to caring for abandoned and homeless pets, protecting and advocating for pets in need, and promoting the humane treatment of all animals. The shelter strives to place homeless animals in loving homes that are committed to their lifetime care. This goal is facilitated by medically and behaviorally evaluating all animals, providing necessary veterinary care and working closely with applicants to ensure a successful match.
