On December 3, 2011 the Pet Prescription Team held the 2011 Awards Banquet. Awards were handed out to those who have had a significant effect on the Pet Prescription Teams success in 2011.

We would like to congratulate all those that received awards in 2011 and thank them for their dedication to the vision of the Pet Prescription Team.

2011 Award Recipients

The Rodeo Award is presented to a supporter of the Pet Prescription Team who has made a life changing impact on the Pet Prescription Team organization. This award represents a person that has shown dedication, loyalty, commitment and supports the vision of the Pet Prescription Team. Their willingness to believe in this organization and vision has made a difference to the community and the facilities in which our team members visit. This leaves a lasting impact on the volunteers.

The 2011 Rodeo Award was presented to the Murray family in honor of the impact that Brielle has made on the Pet Prescription Team as well as how the vision of this organization has been changed because of her life. The Faith dog project will continue in her honor and she will forever be part of this organization.

IN MEMORY OF BRIELLE RUTH MURRAY

The Ponytail Drive

Don’t forget to sign up for the Ponytail Drive Feb. 6th from 12-8 PM at

Friends Christian Middle School.  All you need is 8 inches of unbleached hair, and our professional stylists will do the rest.  You will leave the event with a new, beautiful, free haircut – and in addition, bless a child who has lost their hair due to cancer treatments.

Don’t have 8 inches of hair to spare? Not a problem.  You can still come and show your support by getting a haircut and making a donation.  All proceeds will go to “Brielle’s Bedrooms,” which decorates the bedrooms of children who are sick in the hospital.

But wait, there’s more.  T-shirts are also available with the above logo created just for this year’s event.  Proceeds from the t-shirts will also go to “Brielle’s Bedrooms.” And if you purchase a t-shirt, FCS will allow students to wear their t-shirts to school the day of the event.  We have pink “girls cut” t’s for girls and black t-shirts for boys. The t-shirts can be purchased in the school offices for $15.00.
