Griff Gives Back

Stay tuned for 2024 dates!

Partnering since 2014, The Pet Project has teamed up with Griff, Drake University’s live mascot for Griff Gives Back. Each spring, in conjunction with Drake’s Beautiful Bulldog Contest, Griff hosts a pet food drive in support of our programs. We are so appreciative of Griff and his supporters, as this drive helps provide food to patrons for half the year!

Cool Cars for Cats: Car Show and Cat Food Drive

Stay tuned for 2024 dates! | 

Thank you to all who made the 2023 event a great success! Together, we raised $1,000+ and collected 500+ pounds of pet food!

The Pet Project is teaming up with WesleyLife’s Meals on Wheels and Iowa Charity Cruisers for Cool Cars for Cats! This annual car show and cat food drive supports feline needs in our programs. Awards will be given for cars entered into the show and attendees will have an opportunity to tour The Pet Project. Admission is one unopened bag of adult cat food (preferably 3lb) or a free-will donation. Small bags of food help us better distribute the appropriate amount of food and are easier for patrons/volunteers to manage.

Discount coupon provided by neighboring restaurant, Faustinos Taqueria! Interested media, please contact Tyler.
