Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) NY is honored to announce that the ASPCA ® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ®) has awarded the organization a $100,000 grant, to be used for general operating expenses to support their lifesaving work providing critical services to people and pets in need across New York City.
The award was announced at Barks & Blooms, PAWS NY’s annual spring benefit, which was held on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at the Monarch Rooftop in Midtown Manhattan. At the event, PAWS NY recognized the ASPCA as an honoree, citing more than 10 years of the organization’s programmatic and foundational support.
