Cheers to bracelets helping animal rescues
2011 kicked off with the finale of our Bead Drive. We cannot keep doing what we do — raise money for animal charities — unless you provide us with beads. We held a contest and the beads came from far and wide and even Canada. People have been most generous not only with the Bead Drive contest but throughout the year.
We love getting a phone call or an email saying that someone wishes to drop off old jewelry that can be taken apart and reused, beading supplies/tools, and BEADS!
So thank you to one and all who have been most generous.
People can always drop beads off at Silver Sea Jewelry located at 330 N. 4th Avenue, 624-9954 or CataVinos Wine Shoppe, 3063 N. Alvernon Way, 323-3063 (thank you Yvonne). It’s a good idea to call first to ensure that the stores are open. For additional drop off venues or pick ups – call our message line – 520-955-9061 or email karynzoldan@yahoo.com
We have also been fortunate to have people make bracelets for us with their own bead stash and some of our beads. People like Noni Davis, Sandra Luckau, Joan Athey, and Naomi Kastler. I hope I’m not forgetting anyone!
In 2011, we raised money for:
January – Greyhounds of Verde Valley – $1,094
February – Greyhound Support Transport – $1,740 – GST won the Bead Drive Contest
March – HEART of Tucson Horse Rescue – $1,640
April – Animal Crusaders Arizona – $2,534 – benefited from 4th Avenue Street Fair sales
May – GREY2K USA Education Fund – $3,255 – they really pushed online sales
June – PACC Partners – $805 – the non-profit arm of PACC – went toward the Train to Adopt program
July – vacation
August – Tucson Wildlife Center – $1,905
September – Casa de los Gatos – $2,260
October – Arizona Greyhound Rescue – $1,760
November – Hope Animal Shelter – $1,760
December – Woofs without Roofs – $2,790

PACC Partners helped Oliver
For the month of June 2011, Beading Divas to the Rescue is proud to fund-raise for PACC Partners.
PACC Partners is an independent 501(c)3 charitable foundation dedicated to raising much needed funds to support the animals and outreach programs at Pima Animal Care Center in an effort to end euthanasia of adoptable companion animals in Pima County.
Since PACC Partners inception in mid 2009, they have been committed to providing the animals at Pima Animal Care Center supplies and items to enhance their lives and overall experience while being sheltered. Some of the exciting shelter enhancements are to offer the animals at PACC kennel enrichment aids such as Kongs and other interactive toys, martingale leashes and collar for all of the dog walkers to safely take each dog out for their daily walk.
PACC Partners also provides medical rehabilitation which is designed to assist in funding minor procedures for animals who are on the rescue list at PACC in order to make them adoptable. In the past year PACC Partners has funded almost $3,000 for dentals, minor surgeries, and wound repair which has enabled over 15 animals to be placed up for general adoption and to be adopted out at PACC into permanent loving homes.
PACC Partners also sponsored Pit Bull Spay and Neuter services this year and has already funded over 60 free sterilizations for low income families in need in an effort to reduce the communities over population problem.
Beading Divas to the Rescue bracelet sales will sponsor the “Train to Adopt” program. Train to Adopt was established in January 2011 when PACC Partners hired a full time trainer to work with some of the long term or problematic dogs at PACC in an effort to train them prior to adoption therefore making the dogs more adoptable. To date this program has been a huge success and has allowed many dogs the opportunity to show newly learned manners and find their forever homes.
In Tucson, you can buy one of a kind beaded bracelets made with donated at beads for $20 at Silver Sea Jewelry & Gifts, 330 N. 4th Ave., 520-624-9954 or Dirty Dawgs Dog Wash, 2510 N. Campbell Ave., 770-6045.
You can also buy them online(add $4 for S&H).
