PAWS NY received the grant at their annual Barks & Blooms Benefit in New York City.

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. The ASPCA accepted the award and announced the grant in front of a crowd of around 160 attendees—human and dog guests alike.

“The ASPCA understands the importance of the unique and innovative work we do here at PAWS NY to support pet guardians throughout New York City,” said Rachel Herman, Founder and Executive Director of PAWS NY. “The ASPCA is a leader in the animal welfare field, and it truly is an honor to work alongside them. We are grateful for their generous and ongoing support of our work.”

“Strong bonds between people and pets make for stronger communities, and partnerships among animal welfare agencies are vital to keeping pets in loving homes,” said Erin Earley, Senior Director of Community Engagement for the ASPCA. “PAWS NY provides critical services to New York City’s most vulnerable people and pets, and we are proud to support their lifesaving efforts.”

NEW YORK, NY, March 21, 2023 – Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) NY is thrilled to once again host Barks & Blooms, an annual spring benefit fundraiser supporting the organization’s mission of helping people by helping pets. This year’s event is sponsored by Fur-Ever Friend Corporate Sponsor PetPlate.

PAWS NY (www.pawsny.org) is dedicated to doing everything possible to keep our city’s most vulnerable residents together with their pets. By providing volunteer pet care assistance to low-income older adults and those living with illness or disability, PAWS NY’s programs keep pets in their homes while protecting and promoting the bond that is so physically and emotionally valuable to our clients. Volunteers walk dogs, clean the litterbox, transport pets to the vet, provide foster care in a medical emergency, and so much more.

The event, which will include drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction, will take place on Tuesday, April 25, from 6:30-9:00pm, at the Monarch Rooftop at 71 W. 35th Street in Midtown Manhattan. Hosted by Lucas Hunt of HUNT Auctioneers, the event will also honor programmatic and funding partner ASPCA and one committed volunteer. Tickets are on sale now!

“We are so grateful for all our partners, volunteers, and supporters, and we can’t wait to celebrate again with them this spring,” said Rachel Herman, Founder and Executive Director of PAWS NY. “The beautiful Monarch Rooftop will once again be the backdrop for Barks & Blooms, our annual fundraiser where we honor the work we’ve done over the past year and look ahead to continued growth in the future.”

PAWS NY is also thrilled to have a robust silent auction as part of the fundraising event, featuring items such as tickets to a taping of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen; a two-night stay at a Loews Hotel; VIP tickets to a taping of The Daily Show; pet photo sessions with photographer Kara Mergl; a gift package from Brooklyn Candle Studio; tickets to Sleep No More; a $500 gift card and private shopping party at Veronica Beard; tickets to an American Ballet Theatre performance; a three-month Equinox membership; tickets to New York City sporting events; and much more.

Every dollar raised will support PAWS NY’s mission of providing services to vulnerable New Yorkers who need support caring for their pets due to the physical and financial obstacles they face, with particular emphasis on low-income older adults and individuals living with illness or disability.

“I don’t know how to put into words how helpful this has been to me. PAWS NY is a blessing,” one client said. “My pets are my only family, and PAWS helps me keep them.”
