Petsway Rounds Up For Harmony House

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Nov. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- In October, Petsway stores launched the iCare Round-Up fundraising effort in support of Harmony House. Customers were given the option at check-out to round their purchase up to the next whole dollar amount. With over 2,700 transactions, Petsway raised $1,393.15. In the spirit of the round-up event, Petsway rounded up to the nearest thousand. The result was a check presented to Harmony House for $2,000.

In addition to raising money, Petsway locations engaged in friendly competition to see which store could raise the most money. The winning, South Glenstone, store was awarded gift cards to Andy’s Frozen Custard.

“Petsway is an amazing supporter to Harmony House and survivors of domestic violence in our community,” said Esther Munch, Development Director for Harmony House. “We’re so proud to have them join us in the fight against domestic violence.”
