Continuing on the subject of timeshares and pet owners covered in yesterday’s The Timeshare Authority, it is appropriate to recognize the staff of Global Connections travel clubs for its generous efforts on behalf of the Tampa Bay Society for the Prevention & Cruelty to Animal (SPCA) along with a hat-tip to Timeshare Girls Blog Spot for bringing it to our attention.

The employees of Global Connections in Clearwater, Florida held their 7th annual SPCA Pet Bowl fundraiser, representing the Global Connections Resort in Dunedin, Florida. The team, known as Team Beso Del Sol, earned first prize in fundraising, bringing in over $1900 for the worthy cause. In all, over $20,000 was generated from the charity event.

Kelli Brazier, GCI’s Member Fulfillment Manager and the team’s organizer, said, “Not only do we get to encourage donations for a worthy cause close to our hearts, but we have fun in the process while working together as a team. It was wonderful to see how many people really care. A sincere thank you is extended to each of our sponsors!”

As most pet lovers know, the mission of the SPCA focuses on protecting and sheltering sick, injured, homeless and unwanted animals. The Tampa Bay SPCA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on gifts from individual donors and receives no state or federal monies.
