A Human Hero

The Friends of Animal Care & Control honored Sandy Day as their Human HERO of the Year on February 8, 2014. She was awarded at a fundraising dinner sponsored by the organization at the Montelucia Resort and Spa. The 11th annual Hero Awards honored both animal and human heroes who have made a significant and positive impact in the community. The money raised will support the organization’s life-saving spay/neuter program in Maricopa County.

More than 300 business and community leaders attended this year’s event. Over the course of the last three years, through the Timothy T. Day Foundation and Lulu’s Fund, Sandy has provided more than $242,000 in funding to support the Friends of Animal Care & Control and Maricopa County Animal Care & Control.  This money has been used to fund more than 3,841 life-saving spay/neuter surgeries for pets of low-income families in the community. Her generosity has impacted not only the animals within Maricopa County but also those across Arizona and the country as a whole.
