FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ASPCA PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT ABOUT UPCOMING EVENT FOR
REBUILDING ORGANIZATION
NEW YORK CITY, July 14, 2015Matthew Bershadker, current ASPCA president,
released a statement regarding the most recent challenges within the organization. He
revealed details about the ASPCAs upcoming event, the first annual CLIENT DOG
WALK.

Current adversity within the organization has left the ASPCA on rocky grounds. With
recent information being leaked to the media regarding internal conflict, the ASPCA is
taking progressive steps. In hopes of uniting the organization together, the first annual
CLIENT DOG WALK will take place on 92nd street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on August 8,
2015.
With the set backs our organization has experienced recently, we still plan to stay true
to our missions and values of preventing cruelty to animals. We will continue to strive for
unity in our board. With this, our upcoming event will bring our organization and partners
together in remembering our ultimate goal, said President Bershadker.
According to details shared by Bershadker, in partnership with IAMS, Pedigree Petfoods
and Purina ONE, the executive leaders of the organization will host the event. By uniting
the board together, as well as all sponsors, volunteers and supporters, the ASPCA can
give back to those that have given back to them in the most recent years. The event
has intentions of remembering the true purpose of the organization, which is protecting
the lives of animals.
As ASPCA representatives, partners and their dogs parade down 92nd street, sponsors
will be handing out complementary products like food and toys for all who is involved.
The event will be in celebration of the shared passion for loving and keeping animals
safe. For more information regarding the CLIENT DOG WALK, go to
