Shades for Shelters® - June Donations

July 19, 2024

Every month we detail how Big Bear gives back with our Shades for Shelters® program, we pledge 20% of net proceeds towards animal rescues and shelters in the United States. This month we donated the entire $703.05 we raised to DuPage County Animal Services, located in Wheaton IL.

DuPage County will always hold a special place in our heart, this is a shelter my wife worked at for a number of years, they have some extraordinary people that work and volunteer there and I recently noticed they were in desperate need of some new safety gear:

Keeping shelter staff as safe and effective as possible is always challenging, especially so without the proper equipment.

We were able to send DuPage County Animal Services 20x brand new leashes and 45 new Martingale collars with your help!

Why do we share this information? Because accountability matters, we do what we do because we care and we genuinely want to make a difference in the lives of shelter animals, the people that care for those animals and the ones who eventually adopt and take them home.

**Please consider a donation to the organizations in this article.**

Remember, every pair helps us give back to the shelters and rescues in communities all across the United States. If you believe in our message then consider sharing this article.

Thanks!
