Foundation Financial Group hits in Atlanta the 'Trails for Tails'
Foundation Financial group participates in charity event benefiting Atlanta-area animal shelter, PAWS.
JACKSONVILLE, FL, October 02, 2010
Foundation Financial Group sales team and operations department participated in a 5K run/walk in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park benefitting PAWS Atlanta, a local no-kill animal shelter founded in 1966.PAWS Atlanta provides medical care, shelter, nutrition, basic training and love to homeless cats and dogs until it finds permanent, safe homes for the animals. The oldest and largest shelter of its kind in the area, PAWS has aided and adopted out more than 30,000 animals, frequently rescuing cats and dogs from euthanasia in high-kill shelters.
Foundation Financial Group Atlanta was able to raise more than $1,500 for PAWS through its participation and other donations. As PAWS Atlanta receives no money from national, state or local governments, it relies solely on individual donations, grants and corporate partnerships to fulfill its mission. In addition to Foundation Financial Group Atlanta employees and other animal enthusiasts, some furry friends from PAWS also attended the run/walk.
"Supporting a shelter that helps needy animals to find a better home is a great opportunity for us to give back to the surrounding community," said Darren Ross, senior vice president and Atlanta division general manager of Foundation Financial Group. "Aiding local causes is important, and our company is committed to supporting the communities in which its employees work and live."
