Stephen Wade Auto Centers will host the fourth annual P.A.W.S. Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, Oct. 9 at Coral Canyon Golf Course. Proceeds from the event will benefit the P.A.W.S. animal rescue group of St. George.
Registration costs $100 and starts at 7 a.m. and a shotgun start at 8 a.m. Following the tournament, an awards and recognition lunch will be held.
“This tournament is a great way for Stephen Wade Auto Centers to thank our customers and suppliers for their support, and to raise money for a great charity that helps the homeless pets in their time of need,” said Adam Wade, president of Stephen Wade Auto Centers.
P.A.W.S. is a 501(c)(3) organization based in St. George. The organization was founded in 2002. All donations go to saving orphaned animals’ lives. Their mission is to end euthanasia in Southern Utah shelters. Since its inception, P.A.W.S. has rescued over 5,000 cats and dogs.
In an effort to reduce the animal overpopulation in Southern Utah, P.A.W.S. offers a public low-cost spay/neuter program. Since the inception of the spay/neuter program in August 2009, over 3,000 animals have been altered. The group also provides public education on the importance of altering pets. Staff transports animals to California, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and further.
“We do whatever it takes to save an animal’s life,” Lynn Burger said. “All of this takes money, and your support of this tournament helps us in continuing our efforts. I would like to thank Adam Wade, Stephen Wade Auto Group, and the Stephen Wade Foundation for their support and making our 2014 tournament the best one so far!”
For the past 12 years, P.A.W.S. has given hope and support to thousands of homeless pets, while finding forever families years of companionship and love. Last year, P.A.W.S. worked with city officials to bring about needed changes at the St. George Animal Shelter, providing better living conditions, a larger exercise area, and a healthier environment for animals while at the shelter.
