Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter (UPAWS) animal caregiver Meg Holeva and Sparky the dog, accept a donation from Mike Kolasa, Vice President and Trust Officer at The Stephenson National Bank & Trust (SNBT). The money comes directly from SNBT employees as part of its “Jeans for Greens” program. Each Friday, employees are given the option to ‘dress down for a good cause’ by donating $5 toward a specific non-profit organization designated for that month. UPAWS will use the funds to help them purchase high priority items and enrichment products for the pets staying at the shelter. If you would like to give, or for more information, please contact UPAWS directly at www.upaws.org or 906-475-6661.
