Morey’s Piers makes a $1000 donation to support the Beacon Animal Rescue in their mission to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for animals that need it most
By News Release | June 30, 2022
THE WILDWOODS, NJ. — Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Water Parks, located on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ, recently presented Beacon Animal Rescue, a volunteer-run, no-kill dog and cat rescue servicing Cape May and Atlantic Counties, with a $1,000 check at their Dog Days of Summer Adoption Event. The check represented a portion of the proceeds from the Doggie Splash Pool Party held last summer when Raging Waters Water Park opened for all four-legged friends to enjoy.
Morey’s Piers has been partnering with the Beacon Animal Rescue since 2019. “We believe that pets live their best lives when having fun in safe and loving environments,” says Maggie Wisniewski, Spokeswoman for Morey’s Piers. “Our love for creating pet-friendly events and environments is why we seek to partner with organizations like Beacon. We share the same passion and commitment for wanting to better the lives of animals and their families.”
Beacon is largely dependent on donations from community supporters to feed, train, house, and care for its furry tenants.
The rescue is primarily staffed by volunteers and acquires 99 percent of its dogs from pockets down south, where canines are often used for hunting and herding purposes and treated like dispensable property due to a lack of spaying and neutering before being abandoned to overcrowded shelters without the resources to care for them
“As Cape May County’s leading no-kill rescue, it has been Beacon’s honor to partner with Morey’s Piers, Cape May County’s premier amusement-and-water park, at their events summer after summer,” said Ryan Parker, executive director of Beacon Animal Rescue. “Morey’s’ charitable spirit and ongoing commitment to animal welfare gel beautifully with our mission, which is to rescue, care for, and find loving homes for animals that need it most.”
Morey’s Piers is again partnering with Beacon Animal Rescue for a fun lineup of tail-wagging events this summer. Animal lovers can enjoy time out with family, friends, and even Fido to support the animal rescue.
