Allied Wire’s 11
th
annual charity week,
running from 19
th
to 23
rd
December 2016,
collected a proportion of all sales to
donate to K9s For Warriors, a charity that
rescues and places dogs with a military
hero suffering from post-traumatic stress or
other injuries acquired during their service.
The week raised $18,248.63. The goal was
$20,000, the full cost of sponsoring a dog
and veteran through to graduation, so
the company has made up the shortfall
to donate $20,000 to the charity. Over
the next few months, Allied staff and
customers will follow the progress of the
sponsored dog and its veteran partner.
Since the start of annual charity week in
2006, Allied has raised over $140,000 for a
number of deserving charities.
Charity goes to the dogs!
