Community Supporters

Thank you to the many partners, supporters and sponsors who help us do amazing work at PAWS.

 

 

PAWS Business Partners

Businesses who want to provide ongoing support can become PAWS Business Partners. These relationships are tailored to meet the needs of both PAWS and each Business Partner. Businesses commit to a financial donation ($5,000 minimum) and other types of support and promotion for PAWS. PAWS provides specific recognition and promotion benefits. Creating a support package for the year makes planning, payment, and recognition more efficient for everyone. Please contact us to discuss this opportunity that will help you and PAWS become partners!

Our Current Business Partners include: Hillside Heating & Cooling, Concord Pet Food & Supplies, Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Discover, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers ​and ChristianaCare.

Sponsors

Being a Sponsor is a great way to show your support for PAWS for People and your community. Your financial commitment ensures that PAWS’ programs and pet therapy teams are available to people in need.

Sponsorships at varying levels are available for PAWS’ major annual events, our Wag & Walkathon and Spring Fling. Sponsorships may also be for PAWS for People’s programs and materials, such as reading materials, training supplies, and much more. There are occasional needs for specific in-kind donations of goods or services. Our Sponsors receive benefits that are specific to the event and donation levels, which include PAWS proudly promoting your support.
