The number 15 was extra special for adoptable pets this year. Petfinder.com celebrated its 15th birthday, partnered with more than 1,500 shelters and rescue groups, and surpassed its goal of more than 15,000 pet adoptions at their Big Birthday Adoption Event!

CooperKatz lent a hand in planning, organizing and promoting Petfinder.com’s Big Birthday Adoption Event that took place in cities and towns across North America during the weekend of July 15-17. The largest online database of adoptable pets set the bar high for its birthday celebration and managed to exceed its adoption goal! By the end of the weekend, Petfinder.com found forever homes for more than 15,700 adoptable pets.

This week, CooperKatz hit it out of the park with a company trip to Yankee Stadium in honor of the firm’s 15th anniversary. Riding the subway to the Bronx in true New York fashion, the company met in front of the stadium to pose for a picture before heading inside to an all-you-can-eat buffet of hot dogs, sliders, fajitas, ice cream and watermelon. 

This week CooperKatz participated in City Harvest’s Skip Lunch Fight Hunger, a one-day citywide initiative that asks New Yorkers to donate what they normally spend on lunch to help feed hungry children and their families. Did you know that with just $10, City Harvest can feed over 43 children? In 2010, Skip Lunch Fight Hunger teams across the city raised more than $500,000 in a single day!

The term “award shows” is often associated with star-studded events like the Academy Awards or the Grammys. “Blinged out” celebrities arrive in black tie, red carpet-ready attire. They receive recognition for their multi-million or multi-platinum fame, all televised for the adoring fans at home. That wasn’t quite the scene as Andy Cooper and I left the office Monday around 5:45 p.m.

As the countdown to 2011 continues, we’re making our (deadline) lists…and checking them twice.  Like most companies, the work doesn’t slow down just because the holiday lights and mistletoe go up.

Following up last year’s “Have a Snuggie Holiday” hit, CooperKatz is pleased to present “The Deadline” – a fun, festive video homage to the time-crunched moments we all have and the ways we ‘make it happen’ all throughout the year.
