Congratulations “Can Do Team!” for Reaching $100,000!

The Can Team’s dedication to raising money for animals in need deeply inspires us.

A note of thanks,

A Heartfelt Thank you to the public and to the Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary “Can Do” Can Team for their remarkable achievement in raising $100,000.  Today, we want to express our gratitude and admiration to a group of individuals who have tirelessly worked towards a noble cause – the “Can Do” Can Team. Over the last 15 years, their remarkable initiative of recycling aluminum cans has yielded an astounding $100,000 in support of the welfare of the cats and dogs at FFAS.

Their selfless efforts exemplify the power of community collaboration and the huge impact we can create when we come together for a common cause. It is with the generosity and support of the animal loving public that this goal has been achieved and we are extremely grateful for this participation.  Every aluminum can, Christmas light strand and piece of metal recycled symbolizes a ray of hope for our cats and dogs looking for loving and forever homes.

The money raised has allowed the sanctuary to provide necessary love, veterinary care, food, shelter and the important spay or neuter operations that we promote to decrease overpopulation of unwanted cats and dogs.  The Can Do Can Team demonstrates that even the smallest contributions, when combined, lead to huge change. Their constant commitment to collecting and sorting cans, and driving countless miles to sell cans, serves as a testament to their determination and compassionate spirit. They remind us we each have the power to make a difference in the lives of our furry buddies.

To the “Can Do” Can Team, your dedication has touched the countless lives of the cats and dogs in our care and, for that, we say job well done! We appreciate you!

— Marcia Parrott and the board of directors of Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary

To The Community

Thank you so much for supporting the efforts of the “Can Do” Can Team. We could not have reached our goal without your support!

Below is a list of current or former community members and businesses who’ve helped the Can Team along the way. We tried our best to collect everyone’s names, but after 10 years we’re sure we’ve missed some. Please contact Lora Owen at (704) 640-8839 or lowen@carolina.rr.com if you or someone you know would like to be added to this list.

We appreciate you!!
