Banks is Donating $100 for Every New Car Sold to the Concord-Merrimack County SPCA

Banks Chevrolet-Cadillac-Buick-GMC made a commitment to help animals in need in New Hampshire.  In the months of June, July, and August, Banks will be donating $100 for every new vehicle sold to the Concord-Merrimack County Society Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).  The donations will help the SPCA build their new facility on Silk Farm Road in Concord, New Hampshire.

This year, Banks was a sponsor at the Dinner for Animals, an annual dinner the SPCA hosts to raise money for their organization.  The dinner was a great success and raised a record breaking, $79,000 for animals in one night.  "The SPCA is a wonderful organization that helps hundreds of animals in need," said Tracy Banks, Owner of Banks Chevrolet-Cadillac-Buick-GMC. "We want to extend our appreciation for what they do and help them build a new home for the animals in the region."

 The SPCA is dedicated to caring for abandoned and homeless pets, protecting and advocating for pets in need, and promoting the humane treatment of all animals.  The Concord-Merrimack County SPCA envisions our community to be a safe haven for animals, where the animal-human bond is nurtured and all animals are treated with compassion and respect.
