WALDWICK MIDDLE SCHOOL CHARITY DANCE FOR ANIMAL RESCUE

Student Council Dance to Benefit Paramus Animal Welfare Society

 

Glen Rock, NJ [April 22, 2008]  – The Waldwick Middle School Student Council is sponsoring a charity dance with all proceeds going to the Paramus Animal Welfare Society. 

“We do so many charity events for other things, it’s nice to do one for animals,” says Randal Immit, who teaches Social Studies at the school and is also the Student Council Advisor.

The dance will offer a band and DJ for Waldwick students in the 6th through 8th grades.  The idea of raising money for P.A.W.S. came from local kids who were inspired by the animal rescue work of P.A.W.S. member Joan Martucci.  Martucci rescued a mother cat  hit by a car and it was local kids who discovered her kittens in a dumpster and brought them to Martucci.

“P.A.W.S. is in desperate need of funding to help our save animals in our community,”  says group member Lynn Bosi.   “A fundraiser like the charity dance at the Waldwick Middle School helps us be sure that animals that come into our care will never again be hungry, sick, afraid or alone.”

 

P.A.W.S. has been in service to animals for over 50 years.  Founded and incorporated in 1953, PAWS has now grown to serve Bergen County, Passaic County and surrounding areas.  The non profit organization (http://pawsparamus.wordpress.com) is made up of a dedicated group of volunteers who rescue dogs and cats that have been abandoned, neglected or simply need a new home.  With every rescue, P.A.W.S. covers all medical expenses, including spay or neuter.  “We are committed to finding every cat and dog a family,” says Vice President Karol Licht.    P.A.W.S. also works with local shelters to save friendly, adoptable animals about to be euthanized.  P.A.W.S. will foster these animals and even pay for boarding until a loving home can be found.  P.A.W.S. also provides financial aid to pet owners who cannot afford to get their animals the care they need.

 

Bosi says, “It’s very sad that every day in our community, there are animals that have been abandoned, and are left sick or starving.   Many of these animals are kind, loving souls who simply want someone to love them.   We are just so happy to be able to make a difference thanks to support from the community.”
