About The Event

Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS), a program of the Albany Damien Center, provides food, veterinary services and care for the pets of those living with HIV/AIDS, to ensure that pet owners who are struggling with HIV/AIDS are never separated from their beloved pets, often when they need each other the most.

With your support, PAWS provides assistance with veterinary bills, pet food and supplies, transportation, and help in caring for pets when their owners are too ill to do so. By supporting this event, your business will be exposed as a generous supporter for people with HIV and AIDS, their pets, and the local community to:

  • Over 200 people attended Bowling for PAWS on March 10, 2024
  • Over 5,000 people on the Albany Damien Center mailing list
  • Over 3,000 social media followers with a weekly reach of almost 12,000 people.
  • Over 5,000 customers visiting Kingpin’s the week a sign with your organization’s name is displayed

In 2023, 74 clients and 74 pets received PAWS services. 9,102 lbs. of pet food, litter, and supplies were distributed, and $4,796 pet care bills were paid. PAWS made 172 deliveries of food, supplies and Congregate Meals to members between January and December 2023 to ensure the needs of our members and their pets were met. Over 620 services were provided to pets and our members!

Bowling for PAWS funds our program year-round so please support us by having a good time at Kingpins Alley in Latham!
