Placer SPCA Seeks Hero Nominations

The Placer SPCA is seeking nominations for the 2012 Hero Awards, to be presented at the 11th annual Funny Bones Comedy and Awards Night on Friday, April 27.

Do you know a person, animal, organization, or business in Placer County that has gone above and beyond to demonstrate how strong the human-animal bond can be? Nominate them for a Placer SPCA Hero Award Nomination forms and event ticket sales are available at placerspca.org/funnybones.

Last year’s Heroes included utility employees who rescued a dog trapped in a reservoir, a dog whose owner brings him to visit nursing home residents every week, and two teens who found a missing cat caught in a storm drain.

Funny Bones includes a silent and live auction, full dinner, the Hero Awards presentations, and a set by a national headliner, comedian Dan St. Paul.  Those interested in attending Funny Bones are encouraged to act quickly, as tickets typically sell out weeks before the event. 

Individual tickets can be purchased for $75 if purchased by March 31 or $100 if purchased after April 1.  Funny Bones will be held at Timber Creek Ballroom at Sun City, Roseville, 7050 Del Webb Blvd., Roseville on Friday, April 27 from 5:30-9:30 p.m. 

All proceeds from the event benefit Placer SPCA, an independent local nonprofit organization.  Sponsorships are available. For more information, please contact the Fund Development department at 916-782-7722 or 530-885-7387, ext. 102 or visit www.placerspca.org.
