Waynesville, NC, February 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (http://www.ncvma.org) has announced that the Friends of the NCVMA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the organization, donated $750 to The Francis Fund of Haywood County. This donation supports the fund’s work to help sick and injured animals who are abandoned or homeless, as well as the pets of people who are in need of financial assistance. The Francis Fund helps pay for emergency procedures deemed necessary by a veterinarian, including diagnosis, surgery and medicines, and works to provide financial aid to owners whose pets are victims of poisoning, broken bones, wounds or car accidents. The organization’s goal is to see the animals restored to as fit a physical condition as possible.
NCVMA Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Kristen Hammett and District 11 representative Dr. Tom Kuhn selected The Francis Fund of Haywood Country for this donation. Fund administrators Leslie Denman, registered veterinary technician, and Joanna Swanson accepted the donation from Dr. Hammett.
