Rockin' For TAPS

-
Tazewell Animal Protective Society; located in Pekin, IL and founded in 1958.  TAPS is a no-kill shelter and a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization funded solely through adoptions, donations, memorials and fundraising events.  The goal of TAPS, is to provide a safe environment for injured, misplaced, and homeless cats and dogs until they can be placed in permanent loving homes.  We also provide education to pet owners and the public about overpopulation and pet care.  All our animals are rabies vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed/neutered before they can be adopted.  As you can imagine, these expenses can be very expensive.

Our annual fundraising event, Rockin for TAPS, is coming up on July 17th, 2010 from 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.  The event will take place at the Pekin Boat Club and will include the Comedian Royce Elliott and the bank Loose Shoes, 50/50 raffles, a dunk tank and a bag tournament.

We are looking for businesses to help sponsor our event.  If you are interested in being a sponsor and getting your business on our T-shirt, we are asking for a donation of $100 or more.  The deadline for being a T-shirt sponsor is June 15th, 2010.

Thank you for your consideration.  Your donation will be deeply appreciated by all of us and all the pets at our shelter awaiting their new homes!
