Mohegan Pennsylvania Donates $10,000 to
 Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge
 

WILKES-BARRE, PA (September 17, 2024) – On Thursday, September 12th, Mohegan Pennsylvania (MPA) presented a $10,000 donation check to Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge, a no-kill animal shelter based in Dallas, PA. The organization often takes in animals that are sick, injured or surrendered by their owners. This check presentation took place right before Back in Black, a tribute to AC/DC, rocked the stage at Party on the Patio.

“At Mohegan Pennsylvania, we’re always dedicated to finding ways to give back to the community,” said David Parfrey, vice president of marketing at Mohegan Pennsylvania. “We’re honored to provide this donation to Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge, and we’re also thankful to the guests who donated to this important cause.”

“Blue Chip would like to thank Mohegan Pennsylvania for this amazing donation to the shelter,” said Cordie Braun, fundraising director at Blue Chip Animal Farm Refuge. “There aren’t enough words to express how much this will help with the medical care of the animals!”

Medical bills for Blue Chip Animal Refuge can reach up to $350,000 - $450,000 a year. The donation check that was presented to the organization derived from $5,000 in slot voucher and cash donations from guests and a matched donation from MPA. This is the third year of the donation program at MPA, with prior donations going to St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen in Wilkes-Barre, PA and Ronald McDonald House of Scranton, PA.

ABOUT BLUE CHIP FARM ANIMAL REFUGE

Here at BCF, there is a steadfast belief that every life matters. We work, every day, to provide the very best care to the animals at our shelter. We happily take them in and care for them until they find a forever home, or for as long as they need us to. We are proud to be a no-kill organization, but we need your donations to do this. We work to understand the animals first: by learning their personalities and dispositions, and determining what makes them anxious or scared, we are able to effectively place them in environments that make them happiest. On the other side, we care about the families who come to adopt these animals, and want the best fit for them, too. We ask that you come in and meet with us personally, fill out an application, and tell us your story. Together, we will be able to find your forever companion.
