CHARITY OF THE MONTH: DRONE TO HOME
Each month, The Nottingham Panthers have a selected Charity of the Month and in October it's Drone to Home - the first dedicated dog drone searching registered charity in the UK.
The Nottingham-based charity receive around 40 calls per day from distraught dog owners who require their expertise, knowledge and skills. They search and reunite around 70 missing dogs a month both physically and over the phone around the UK.
The creator of the charity, Phil James, said: "We are thrilled to be Charity of the Month for October. This incredible opportunity would not have been possible without the overwhelming support and votes from the passionate Panthers fanbase and we are truly grateful for your unwavering commitment to our charity Drone To Home.
"Being selected as the Charity of the Month by the Nottingham Panthers holds immense significance for us. It not only provides us with a platform to raise awareness about our goals. but also allows us to make a meaningful impact in our community.
"Through this partnership, we aim to work closely with the Panthers organisation and their dedicated fans to support more dog owners who lose their beloved pets, whether it be through fundraising efforts and awareness campaigns.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Nottingham Panthers for their generosity and willingness to make a difference. Their commitment to giving back to the community exemplifies the spirit of teamwork and compassion that sports can inspire. We look forward to a productive and fulfilling collaboration that will benefit the lives of many.
"To the incredible Panthers fans who cast their votes and voiced their support for us, thank you. Your dedication to our charity is a testament to the power of unity and we are excited to have you join us on this journey to create positive change.
"Together, we can achieve remarkable things and make a lasting impact on the lives of pet owners in Nottinghamshire. Thank you, Nottingham Panthers and fans for your support and generosity."
