Partner with the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter in 2018 The Friends of BCAS work diligently to save the lives of homeless animals in Burlington County, as well as enrich the lives of animals at the Burlington County Animal shelter until they find their forever homes. Surveys show that up to 70 percent of U.S. households have a cat or dog. Partnering with Friends of BCAS offers your company a chance to connect with thousands of people and potential customers who are interested in pets and pet products. Support from sponsors is critical for us to meet our twin goals of finding homes for all shelter pets in Burlington County and eliminating euthanasia of healthy pets simply because they are homeless. We are extremely proud to have been named 2017 Best Charity by the readers of the Burlington County Times. BCT readers also awarded our Barb Feldstein Memorial Raining Cats & Dogs Pet Fest the 2017 Best Outdoor Event award, as well as the One of the Best Family Events award. We are also platinum certified by GuideStar, a group that ranks charities on financial transparency. This booklet summarizes sponsorship opportunities for our 2018 showcase events. We also organize a number of other events throughout the year that are hosted by other supporters.
