PSWCS.org and the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society are joining forces with Pets for U.S. Vets, a program of the Washington Area Humane Society in Washington, PA (EIN 25-0995781). Pets for U.S. Vets places dogs and cats with local veterans, free of charge. All animals are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped.
Pets for U.S. Vets was started by Suzi Smith in 2010 and she has worked tirelessly since then to secure funding to cover the costs of the free adoptions. Now in its sixth year, the program is averaging 50 adoptions per year to veterans.
To raise funds for Pets for U.S. Vets, PSWCS.org will be selling a limited run of 1,000 medallions featuring C-3PO from
Star Wars™. This will be the sixth medallion and charity that
PSWCS.org has partnered with.
Each medallion will be cast in gold toned metal and will feature C-3PO on the front along with the date and name of the charity, Pets for U.S. Vets. The back will have the PSWCS logo.
The medallions will be
sold online for $12.50 each, including shipping. We can only accept orders from addresses within the United States due to cost of shipping. The medallions are fully approved by Lucasfilm and will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. A receipt for your donation will also be provided as your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
About PSWCS.org
Since 2009, the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society has raised over $32,000 for charities in and around Pennsylvania and now we've expanded with the formation of PSWCS.org. PSWCS.org received IRS approval for 501(c)(3) non-profit status (EIN 46-3406572) in November, 2014 which will allow us more opportunities to work with charitable organizations and open new avenues for collecting donations.
PSWCS.org is staffed and operated entirely through the voluntary efforts of the PSWCS.org Board of Directors and by members of the Pennsylvania Star Wars Collecting Society. No person or entity receives any form of compensation.
PSWCS.org plans to continue working with Lucasfilm to release approved Star Wars™ medallions and merchandise and looks forward to being able to accept other forms of donations. Our new non-profit status also opens doors to working with a larger range of charities and organizations.There are exciting things ahead for PSWCS.org which will be announced over the coming months.
