Loading ...VW Loves Animals, Too! Go Ganley!
It’s not often that you hear about a car dealership having an event that benefits animals, or a car dealership whose employees are dedicated to the animal welfare cause. But that’s exactly what Ganley Volkswagen/Subaru of Bedford is, and will be doing this Saturday. They are hosting the second annual “Feed the VW Bug, Adopt a Kitten or Dog” event on Saturday November 14. Hoping to fill a VW Bug with donations of treats, blankets, toys, and other supplies that shelters need, the profits from the Cleveland pet rescue event will benefit the Cleveland Animal Protective League.
It’s sure to be a day filled with fun and games, as there is a raffle for prizes, and guests are invited to test drive the new 2010 VW and Subaru lineups. For every car sold, $50 will be donated to the APL! How cool is that?
Also, expect to see special appearances by the Browns mascot Brownie, and many former Browns players, including Mike Pagel and Herman Arvie, who will be signing autographs. Red Bull will be there as well as Sirius Radio. It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind event! PETCO is donating treats and coupons for the “Doggie Bags” that will be handed out,too.
Last year’s profits from the event went to the ASPCA, and it was a shining success. Ganley, and its General Manager, Michael Friedman, a huge pet lover, hope to make this year’s event even bigger and better for the Cleveland APL. Faye Birns, another Ganley employee and animal welfare advocate, said the dealership plans to continue to support animal welfare causes throughout the year with different events.
“A lot of our employees adopted pets during the ASPCA event,” she said, “and we will continue to support the shelters throughout the year with other charity events.”
Join the fun and support the Cleveland pet rescue cause from 1 – 4 p.m. at the dealership located at 250 Broadway in Bedford, Ohio.
