Wags for Warriors

Savings pets, healing Vets...  Help Mercyhurst University and the A.N.N.A. Shelter change lives! With YOUR support, we'll be able to find a home for a puppy and bring a smile to a Veteran who has already given so much to our country.  Dr. Alex Regina’s Social Media Marketing class at Mercyhurst University is partnering with the A.N.N.A. Shelter, a local animal shelter, to host a charity event to directly benefit them as well as community veterans. In addition to giving students real world experience in marketing and promotion, community engagement, and event planning, planning and running this event  will show students the power of giving back and paying it forward, while working in collaboration with companies and organizations who share Mercyhurst's values and a similar mission.  Our event will be held on November 14th (Veteran’s Week) at the Bourbon Barrel in Downtown Erie. During this evening, Regina’s class aims primarily to raise money to sponsor veteran adoptions through the A.N.N.A. Shelter's "Pets for Vets" initiative so that local Veterans may obtain loving companions free of charge.  In order for this event to be a success, we humbly request help from anyone who is willing to offer any form of donations. All donations will go directly to an amazing cause and will help out many of the dogs waiting for a loving home and support men and women in the Erie community who dedicated themselves to the service of our country. These donations will help cover the cost of food, entertainment, transportation, and security during the event and any excess will be directly donated to the shelter. As a class, our mission is to give back to a city that gives so much of itself to us every day.   All donors will be recognized by name (with consent and approval) on several marketing materials and press releases. We would like to honor and thank all of those that will help make this wonderful evening possible! Please contact us with any inquiries regarding non-monetary donations (raffle items, etc.) or with any other questions.    Thank you for contributing to the success of this event!  From all of us from Mercyhurst University Social Media Marketing
