Rules and Guidelines
Third‑party hosts are responsible for organizing, funding, planning, promoting, managing, and staffing their events. BAM cannot guarantee volunteers, animals, attendance, mailing lists, email promotion, or payment of event costs. Requests for BAM volunteers or animals are considered case by case. BAM must approve use of its name and logo, as well as flyers, press releases, publications, and other promotional materials. Materials must state that the event is not sponsored by BAM, and the organization must be identified as Because Animals Matter rather than as a shelter or humane society. Approved hosts may request that funds support a particular BAM program.
Host a Pet Food Drive
Schools, offices, churches, stores, and community groups can collect nutritious pet food to support low‑income pet owners through the Hurricane Valley Food Pantry and, when appropriate, animals in BAM's care. Contact BAM before the drive so the organization can coordinate and share it on social media.
