For the second consecutive year, Franco met with representatives from the state’s largest open-admission animal shelter to make the sizable donation, which was the product of a month-long community-wide supply drive held in partnership with Sunny 106.5 FM and Petco in celebration of the second wildly successful year of his hit show, MAGIC REINVENTED NIGHTLY at The LINQ Hotel & Casino.

“Animals don’t have a voice to speak for themselves,” shared Franco. “So that’s what I’m here for. I want to be able to help our furry friends while also thanking the community who’s been so supportive of our show.”

“This donation helps The Animal Foundation in so many areas of the shelter,” shared Elysia Sheldon, events manager at The Animal Foundation. “On average, 80 animals enter our care per day, so the supplies and monetary donations collected through this drive go a long way to help provide the care our animals deserve. The supplies are critical for our lifesaving programs which help the underserved areas in our community. We are grateful for the continued support of Mat Franco and MAGIC REINVENTED NIGHTLY.”
The Animal Foundation houses and provides health services to save nearly 21,000 lost, unwanted, neglected and abandoned animals every year and is in constant need of supplies to continue providing top-quality care for its animals.
