Bel Air, Maryland - Approximately 5,000 students will enjoy the benefits of classroom pets thanks to the assistance of the World Pet Association and other pet-related businesses, who raised over $13,500 for the Pet Care Trust’s Pets in the Classroom Grant Program at the 24th annual America’s Family Pet Expo in Orange County, California April 19-21, 2013. The money raised will provide more than 100 teachers with grants to aid them in financing a classroom pet.
Attendees at America’s Family Pet Expo had the opportunity to participate in a Betta Fish Toss and aquarium raffle, as well as purchase pet supplies at discounted prices at the Pet Care Trust store. All of the proceeds from these endeavors go directly toward funding grants for classroom pets.
The Pets in the Classroom program was established by the Pet Care Trust in 2009 to assist teachers in obtaining or maintaining classroom pets. The $13,500 donation will help Pets in the Classroom in attaining their ultimate goal of introducing 5 million children in 100,000 classrooms to pets and the benefits they provide.
