Story idea: Local animal shelter partners with Amazon
Alexandria Burris:
I have been reading your business coverage for a while now. I really enjoyed your piece on Amazon developing a new fulfillment center in Hancock County and the benefits it will bring to the community. Amazon is making good on its community investment in other ways that might interest your readers.
A nonprofit animal shelter has teamed up with Amazon to create a new fundraising opportunity. Amazon users will now be able to use AmazonSmile to donate a portion of their purchases to Rosie’s Southside Animal Shelter. This partnership with Amazon opens the door for a new way for locals to give to a cause they care about.
The use of AmazonSmile falls within Amazon’s recent philanthropic efforts, with Jeff Bezos recently pledging $10 billion for climate change and the recent prioritization of medical equipment and home goods shipments.
If you would like to continue with this story, I would be happy to connect you with Rosie Ellis or the network of volunteers who support the work at Rosie’s Southside Animal Shelter. Additionally, I can also arrange an exclusive photo-op at the shelter.
I will be reaching out in two days with more information about the excellent work of the shelter as well as contact information for exclusive interviews.
Sincerely,
Allison Bruns
