Bit-Wizards’ Be the Magic Foundation (BTMF) is once again showing their support for the Panhandle Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) by doubling their contributions this year.

The partnership between the two organizations is now in its third year, and BTMF presented PAWS’ Executive Director, Ashley Degraaf, with a check for $20,000 on Saturday, April 29th, to kick off the new year of support.

The generous donation wasn’t the only way Be the Magic Foundation helped PAWS on that day, as they also spent the afternoon volunteering onsite. More than 40 hours of volunteer time from the Bit-Wizards team were donated to the animal shelter.

But the support doesn’t stop there. PAWS will also receive $20,000 worth of hardware and skill-based services, in addition to the cash donation. The donations will help the shelter continue their mission of providing a safe and loving environment for animals in need.

“Bit Wizards has been a true partner to Panhandle Animal Welfare Society. From supporting our digital infrastructure to volunteering with our animals, PAWS can always count on the Bit Wizard team to show up in a big and meaningful way,” said Maggie Tomecek, Community Development Coordinator.

Recently, PAWS launched the Kennels for Canines project, which aims to improve the lives of the pets in their care through a Kennel Rebuild Initiative. As part of this Initiative, Be the Magic Foundation pledged to support the rebuilding of an entire wing for the facility.

Bit-Wizards’ Managed IT Services team also donated and installed a new server to assist with PAWS’ day-to-day operations.
The Bit-Wizards’ Marketing team will also assist in highlighting a monthly adoptable pet. The Pet of the Month program will be featured on Bit-Wizards’ Facebook and Instagram pages, starting in May.
