Team Newman-Dailey Rallies Support for the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)

Many members of the Newman-Dailey team are also proud pet owners and care deeply about the well-being of animals in the area. Due to the team's caring spirit, Newman-Dailey selected the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) for its quarterly community service project. The fundraiser, which kicked off on Valentine's Day and aptly named, "Spread the Love," aimed to raise funds and donations to support PAWS mission to provide the resources, education and programs need to improve animal welfare in the Destin and Fort Walton Beach area. 

"We deeply appreciate the dedicated efforts of PAWS in caring for our community's neglected, abandoned, and surrendered animals," said Micki Gramm, Newman-Dailey Team Member, project coordinator, and a PAWS pet-adoption family. "This remarkable organization provides shelter, medical care, and enrichment, all aimed at giving these animals the chance for a brighter future and their very own 'forever home.'"

The team gathered an impressive array of food, funds, and equipment. The team’s contributions included an SUV loaded with linens, 24 cans and 6 large bags of dog food, 36 cans and 4 large bags of cat food, 72 cans of kitten food, 12 collars, harnesses, and leashes, as well as multiple cat scratchers, bags of pill pockets, pet-safe peanut butter jars, and toys. Additionally, the team provided a six-month supply of Tri Heart Plus for large dogs and gathered cash donations to support the cause.

As a bonus, Newman-Dailey plans to continue its support of PAWS by providing unusable bedding, linens and towels from Newman-Dailey's vacation rental division laundry department to be used for pet bedding, baths and medical attention.
