Blommer Peterman, S.C. Raises More Than $16,000 for No Paws Left Behind
HOUSTON-(Business Wire)-April 28, 2009 - No Paws Left Behind, Inc., a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to bringing awareness to and finding solutions for the growing phenomena of foreclosure pets, announced it has accepted a $16,000 contribution from Blommer Peterman, S.C., a Brookfield, Wis.-based law firm that specializes in residential foreclosures. Blommer Peterman, S.C. recently organized and sponsored a wine tasting and silent auction, with all proceeds benefiting No Paws Left Behind.
“We organized this event to increase local awareness of the increasing problem of foreclosure pets,” said Deb Blommer, managing partner at Blommer Peterman, S.C. “We greatly appreciate the generous contributions, which made this fundraiser possible, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with No Paws Left Behind in the future.”
The March 28 fundraising event took place at the Western Racquet Club in Elm Grove, Wis. and featured 40 wine offerings provided by Vino 100®, which donated 10 percent of its proceeds to No Paws Left Behind. Local stores and businesses donated over eighty gift baskets for the silent auction, many of which were dog themed. Excluding the wine, Blommer Peterman underwrote all event costs, thus allowing all contributions to directly benefit No Paws Left Behind. The money raised will help Milwaukee-area no-kill shelters offset the expenses of lodging pets rescued from abandoned homes.
“By organizing this event, Blommer Peterman, S.C. has demonstrated its commitment to helping homeowners find alternatives – such as No Kill shelters – to abandoning their pets in the foreclosure process,” said Cheryl Lang, president and founder of No Paws Left Behind. “The strong turnout for this event illustrates that people are aware of the foreclosure pet epidemic and are taking strides to reduce the number of pets that are left behind during foreclosure. We are honored by the generosity and impressive effort from everyone at Blommer Peterman, S.C., and the organizations that supported No Paws Left Behind through this fundraiser.”
