“Our first Bingo was such a smashing success and after countless requests, we are extremely excited to host it yet again this year.  We welcome all animal lovers, neighbors, friends and the entire community to come out for an evening filled with fun and prizes,” said Annie Trinkle, Executive Director at Animal Alliance.  “Dwayne Dunlevy filled the room with laughter last year and we expect him to have us in stitches once again.  We are hoping for a record number of attendees so spread the word and come out for a great night to help local pets in need.”

This event is proudly sponsored by Sycamore Kitchens in Newtown, PA and River Valley Realty LLC in Lambertville, NJ.  All proceeds from Bingo will be used to care for the animals awaiting adoption at Animal Alliance.

Animal Alliance is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, that finds euthanasia to be an unacceptable fate for adoptable dogs and cats in animal shelters, who will lose their lives due to pet overpopulation.  Animal Alliance places animals removed from shelters into temporary foster care where they are rehabilitated, spayed/neutered, restored to health, and readied for a speedy adoption.  Animal Alliance focuses its efforts on injured animals, and victims of cruelty and neglect.  Through its Planned Pethood Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic, Animal Alliance offers spay/neuter community outreach services to substantially reduce pet overpopulation.  Its Robert W. Curts Memorial Pet Adoption Center, offers pets for adoption in a retail-like setting to encourage pet adoption among those who might not ordinarily visit a traditional animal shelter, and to increase the visibility and accessibility of rescued animals for adoption.   www.animalalliancenj.org
