BASE® Supports AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport
BASE® employees raised $2,360 to help support AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport, a local nonprofit located in De Soto, Iowa.
AHeinz57 provides free transport for dogs all over the Midwest and Canada from traditional shelters, while also providing a place to stay for dogs before finding them permanent homes.
BASE® employees were excited to help support a local organization, located 15 minutes away from their office in Adel. Alicia West, an employee at BASE®, was especially excited to get involved with AHeinz57.
“I wanted to help raise money for the AHeinz57 Pet Rescue & Transport organization, as I believe they are doing a great service to the community. Amy and her volunteer staff are wonderful at rehoming orphaned and stray dogs, and giving animals that otherwise might not have made it a second chance at life. As an animal lover, it warms my heart to see volunteers and good people coming together to rescue strays and bring home lost scared pets. Having visited their shelter, I wanted BASE® to come together and help AHeinz57 reach their goals,” she said.
BASE® provided unique ways for employees to donate towards this organization. The goal was to raise money for AHeinz57 while also having fun. Within two short weeks, through a spirited penny war competition and Super Bowl week, employees managed to raise more than twice the $1,000 goal they set out to donate.
Amy Heinz, owner of AHeinz57, is hoping to break ground on new boarding and shelter facilities soon.
“We are hoping to break ground when the ground thaws this spring. We are always looking for volunteers to help get the boarding and shelter facilities up and running,” she said.
BASE® employees are hoping their donations will allow AHeinz57 to quickly build new facilities while assisting with other projects and needs for AHeinz57.
