New Couponing for Paws SPCA Challenge 

Newport News, VA- The Peninsula SPCA is seeking couponers of every skill level to enter the new “Couponing for Paws SPCA Challenge” for the animals. This challenge welcomes participants to clip those coupons for the animals. “Couponing for Paws SPCA Challenge” will open early registration online at www.peninsulaspca.org  on Thursday, June 7^th, 2012 at 9 a.m. and registration is free.

The early registration will allow our participants to prepare their couponing strategy before the official launch of “Couponing for Paws SPCA Challenge” on Monday, July 9, 2012 and end on Friday, August 3, 2012 at 5 p.m.  The registrants that enter the challenge will start their shopping for the animals.

Couponers will bring donations into the Peninsula SPCA and earnings will be recorded every Friday until Friday, August 3, 2012.  Two winners will be decided in two categories.  First, by calculating the total retail value of product donated.  Secondly, the greatest overall savings of product donated.  One winner for each category will win TWO free human tickets to Fur Ball 2013 ($500 value) at the Hampton Roads Convention Center February 2, 2013.  Valid store receipts must be submitted with donations and all donations are tax deductible for participants.  

The Peninsula SPCA is always in need of everyday supplies for daily operations including paper towels, cleaning products, trash bags, laundry detergent, and office supplies.  Most importantly, the Peninsula SPCA is always in need of dog and cat food, kitten and puppy chow, canned food, cat litter, and delicious treats for our animals.  A donation wish list will be posted weekly with up-to-date needed supplies online at www.peninsulaspca.org. 

“The Peninsula Community is very supportive in donating many items for our animals. However, we have hundreds of cats and dogs in our care daily. We may go through 1,000 lbs. of dog food in any given week and approximately 250 lbs. of cat litter in a day.  This challenge was created to encourage a fun way to donate items for animals!” says Vicki Rowland, Director of Marketing and Programs.
