Engraved Brick Fundraiser Gives Hope, Health, & Shelter to Iowa Animal Shelter
Ceramica, Inc. has done it again. We, in partnership with United Brick of Des Moines Iowa, have provided brick pavers for an engraved brick fundraiser event. The Animal Rescue League (ARL) of Iowa, Inc. was in desperate need of new shelter facilities for their growing number of animals in need. They saw 18,000 pets travel through their doors in 2007 alone and their facilities were not built for such numbers. They needed to do something and turned to fundraising to help raise the projected 10.5 million dollar cost.
The ARL had to find some way to raise funds, for their facilities were in such dire straits they were unhealthy for the animals, volunteers, and staff. They held a fundraiser to raise the money they needed with help from engraved brick pavers provided by us. We provided engraved Endicott Desert Iron Spot 4x8 brick pavers and Endicott #46 8x8 brick pavers for the fundraiser. The larger bricks could be purchased for $500 and would be engraved with the donor's pet's name as well as a color photo of that pet. The smaller bricks would be of less cost and be engraved as well. The fundraiser was a success. They finished their 42,000 square foot facility where they now have plenty of room for animals in need as well as their growing staff and volunteers. They also offer wonderful programs and events at their new facility, all thanks to the fundraiser and donors who contributed.
We at Ceramica, Inc. are proud and honored to have helped in this worthy fundraiser. We want to congratulate all of the fundraiser donors and everyone else who made this project possible and send out a special thank you on behalf of all the animal lovers at Ceramica, Inc for giving animals in need a second chance at a good life.
