Over 80 contestants in this year\u2019s \u201cPicture Perfect Pet\u201d calendar contest to benefit homeless animals at the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society are being reminded that the deadline to submit their collections is Saturday, June 10.
\n\u201cWe have some entrants who prefer to turn their donations in early and that\u2019s fine,\u201d said Dave Hopkins, CPHS Director of Fundraising\/Public Relations.
\n\u201cThey can also mail them in as long as they are postmarked no later than the tenth.\u201d
\nHopkins said entrants are asked to count their collections then make a check out to \u201cCPHS\u201d and include (on the check) the name of their pet and the photographer used.
\nThe contest\u2019s top fundraiser last year was Tracy Zerby of Hollidaysburg who collected $1,348 on behalf of her very cute dog, Pugsley. She got first pick of the featured months and chose October, Pugsley\u2019s birthday month. The lowest amount turned in that still earned a \u201cfeatured month\u201d was $342.85 by The Winds of Hollidaysburg on behalf of their resident dog (a CPHS \u201calumni\u201d), Shotsie.
\nOn the \u201chonorable mention\u201d page, Donna Hammel turned in the top amount of $315. The lowest amounts turned in were ties amounting to $225 (Tammy Ingham, Brian Hollenbach and Michele Claar). All three earned a place on that page.
\nOverall, the 2006 calendar earned over $20,000 to benefit the homeless animals at the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society.
\nTop fundraisers for the 2007 calendar will be announced by mid-June with the calendars printed and for sale ($7 each) sometime in the early fall.
