Petland fundraises for St. Judes Children's Hospitals......

[Guest guest]

St. Jude conducts experiments on animals. I wonder how many discarded Petland puppies ended up in their labs through "free to good home" and pound seizures?

Safari Stan's Children's Charities

Since 1994, Petland stores have been participating in Safari Stan's Children's Charities. This involves local store operators in granting pet-related wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions through the Make-A-Wish Foundation® and in placing coin canisters in Petland stores nationwide to raise funds for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Many Petland stores also host special in-store events to raise donations for St. Jude. All local store donations are supported with additional donations from Petland, Inc.

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities. The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 144,000 children worldwide. A network of more than 25,000 volunteers enables the Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants, and in numerous other capacities. For more information on

Make-A-Wish Foundation, visit the organization's website at www.wish.org.
