League for Animals and People of the Summit (L.A.P.S.)

WHAT IS L.A.P.S. ?

The League for Animals and People of the Summit (L.A.P.S.) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (#84-1157625) which raises funds to support a variety of programs for the pets of low income families living or working in the Summit County area. Your membership fee and any donations go to a great cause and are fully tax deductible. Although we are not directly associated with the Summit County Animal Shelter, we support their spay/neuter program with a grant from The Summit Foundation. Funds for L.A.P.S. programs come from memberships, special events, grants and donations from generous individuals and businesses. LAPS does not have ANY paid staff members, just very dedicated volunteers - every penny goes towards the cause. Contact us anytime by US mail or E-mail us at laps@colorado.net or come to a meeting. Thank you for caring!

L.A.P.S. Supported Programs:

"Chappy Fund" for abused pets
"Cheyenne Fund" for pets with life-shortening illnesses
Adopted pet spay/neuter assistance fund
Discounts on spay/neuter for your pet
Low income medical assistance for pets
Low income general assistance for pets

The primary function of LAPS is reducing pet overpopulation through our spay/neuter programs in the Summit County area. Our other programs benefit the general welfare of pets whose low-income owners are in need of financial assistance.

Don't miss this coming event!
"Sylvia" is a romantic comedy about a personable stray dog who becomes a big part (and a big problem) in the lives of a Manhattan couple. Sylvia likes Cole Porter music and Homer (as in The Iliad, not the Simpsons). The Backstage Theatre is making Saturday, Feb 25 a L.A.P.S. benefit night, with ticket prices of $25 ($10 from each ticket is donated to L.A.P.S. and is tax deductible). There will be a wine and desserts reception from 6:30-7:30 when the curtains go up. Call the Backstage at 453-0199 for tickets.
