"The Welfare Foundation has awarded a challenge grant to PAWS for People, a Newark based pet-therapy organization. The challenge grant is for up to $50,000 for donations PAWS for People can raise above the level raised in 2011. The challenge period runs through June 30, 2013.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for PAWS to attract new donations and for existing donors to increase their level of giving,” said Janet Luke, development director for PAWS. She said all donations will be doubled because of the grant.

For more information or to make a donation, contact Luke at jluke@pawsforpeople.org or 351-5622."
