Upcoming Comedy Heartworm Offers a Contest to Benefit Pets with Vacation Prize
By: BWW News Desk May. 25, 2005
The pets that benefit from the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals are taken in by NYC's Animal Care and Control and require medical attention after they are transferred to one of the 65 participating shelters and rescue groups that comprise the organization. The Picasso Veterinary Fund pays for the necessary medical care and gives each of these animals a second chance for a good life with an adoptive family.
Additionally, the I ♥ My Dog Contest was founded by the producers of Heartworm on February 1st. Running through October 15th, the contest will conclude with the selection of a dog who will become the Heartworm Mascot. To enter, contestants are asked to submit – either by e-mail or snail mail – a photo of their pooch, along with a tip their dog has given them, such as, "They may hold the leash but we have more legs!" The cost of entry is $20, and $10 for each additional entry.
The winner, selected by the director and producers of Heartworm, will receive two free round-trip tickets to anywhere for anyone, $200 in cash, unique theater-related prizes, and doggie-goodies. Every two months leading up to the winner selection, twenty Top Dogs photos will be selected by a national panel of veterinary staff and posted on Heartworm's website; the winner will be selected from among those photos.
Donations to the production of Heartworm are also encouraged. To entice website visitors to donate, Heartworm Productions is offering donators the chance to win a variety of Heartworm-releated acknowledgements--from having their name listed in the Playbill to appearing for one night only with the cast, on stage.
Contest, donation, and play details are available at www.Heartworm-play.com.
