“Our partners at Urban Chestnut share our passion for pets and have helped us raise funds and awareness for local pets in need through this annual campaign,” said Kim Beardslee, Director of Community Affairs at Purina. “The shelters who make up the IMPETUS Coalition provide incredible services to the people and pets of St. Louis, and we are proud to support their mission.”
This is the seventh-consecutive year Purina and Urban Chestnut have teamed up for a philanthropic effort. Since its inception in 2017, the ‘Raise a Pint for Pets’ campaign has helped to raise more than $275,000 for local animal shelters.
“This partnership goes way beyond beer,” said David Wolfe co-owner and co-founder of Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. “Our friends at Purina have positively impacted the lives of shelter pets in our community, and this campaign has brought thousands of people and pets together. It’s incredible to see the impact it’s made, and we’re excited for another collaboration to make a difference in the lives of shelter pets in St. Louis.”
