CANIDAE All Natural Pet Foods Expands Commitment to Fight Canine Cancer
Pet Food Company Will Conduct a Charity Raffle at the 2009 Philadelphia International Cycling Championship Bicycle Race with Proceeds Benefiting the Fight Against Canine Cancer.
San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2009
CANIDAE All Natural Pet Foods began a campaign to raise funds for cancer research in pets by conducting its first charity raffle at the Amgen Tour of California in February of this year. Building on that success, CANIDAE went on to sponsor another charity raffle at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California in April, and another at the Bay to Breakers race in San Francisco this month. Together, the events raised thousands of dollars that were donated to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation to fund canine cancer research.
"The positive atmosphere at the races and the generosity of cycling fans everywhere convinced us to sponsor more events," said Jason Castillo, Controller for CANIDAE. "We have committed to attending more national events throughout the year promoting Responsible Pet Ownership, and supporting local independent pet food retailers while raising funds for cancer research in pets at the same time. We are working on events at several of the larger marathon races as well. When the details are finalized, we will publish them on our website at www. canidae. com."
CANIDAE will again expand its tradition of promoting cancer awareness and research by conducting another CANIDAE Bike Raffle at the 2009 Philadelphia race with one hundred percent of the proceeds benefiting the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation's canine cancer research fund.
Two grand prize winners will be selected at random at a drawing to be held on Sunday, June 7, 2009 at the conclusion of the race. Each winner will receive a new Felt Beach Cruiser donated to the raffle by CANIDAE. Felt is the official bike supplier to the Garmin/Slipstream Pro Cycling Team which includes last year's Tour de France fourth place finisher.
Tickets for the CANIDAE Bike Raffle will cost $2.00 for one or $5.00 for three and will be available in person at the CANIDAE booth in the race's Lifestyle EXPO area which is located near the event's finish line. Winners do not need to be present to win.
Part of the CANIDAE Mission Statement to promote Responsible Pet Ownership includes proper medical care and support for pets with health issues such as cancer. Nothing is more central to the core values of CANIDAE than the health, happiness and well being of pets.
In addition to selling raffle tickets benefiting the cause of fighting canine cancer, CANIDAE All Natural Pet Foods will hand out samples and coupons free of charge.
