This morning, more than 300 people gathered in the auditorium of the Golisano Institute for Business and Entrepreneurship. The media with their camera crews lined the back of the room, while representatives from 82 community organizations awaited a special announcement. There was a collective gasp in the room when Mr. Golisano took the stage and told us that he would be giving away $360 million dollars. For the next half-hour, he named each award recipient and the amount of each award. One by one, stunned representatives of these organizations crossed the stage to shake his hand.
We at Pet Pride are thrilled and profoundly grateful to be among the beneficiaries of Mr. Golisano’s philanthropy. The award of $1.5M we received this morning will have a transformative impact on our organization and on our ability to serve homeless cats in our community.
Thank you, Mr. Golisano! Pet Pride will make you proud.
