A new year is a chance to start fresh, a chance to let go of the past and embrace the future.
As we step into another year, we ask for your continued support as we remain steadfast on our mission to rescue the animals in the Sigonella community.
The history of Sigonella Animal Welfare Society, Inc. is uncertain, and our research revealed that our first bank account was opened in October 1990 and that date is what we use as our unofficial birthday.
We couldn’t do it without you
There have been many board members and volunteers over the years, but our mission has not changed as every day we strive to find homes for the helpless rescues of the Sigonella community.
The dedicated Board of Directors could not continue to do the hard work we do without our donors, foster homes, and event volunteers – selflessly pouring their hearts into the organization. No matter how challenging the tasks have been, you have been by our side for approximately 35 years.
We are here for the animals
This year is a milestone year, and our hope is to continue saving as many animals as possible and finding the best homes for them. Has it been smooth sailing – no. Have we faced some challenges – yes. Have we taken some missteps – yes. Do we strive to do better and work harder – yes. At the end of the day, we are here for the animals! The animals that are voiceless and do not have a home or food to put in their bellies. We try to help families go through difficult dynamic changes by re-homing their fur family members. We work diligently to find homes for the rescued animals.
We do not think that a simple “thank you” will ever truly express our gratitude to the Sigonella community and our countless supporters across the globe but we will continue to say it and show it.
This year as we celebrate 35 years, we have a few fundraising events planned, and we look forward to seeing you at these events. Thank you in advance for your support. Please stay with us as we journey through this 35th year together!
