COBB, Calif. – The Acme Foundation celebrated its 18th anniversary in March with a “Jazzy Cats” quilt raffle.

The drawing was March 31 and Smokey the Bear drew the lucky winner’s ticket. The winner was Sarah Silva of Pleasanton.

Acme Foundation Founder and President Pat Meyer extended her gratitude to Jacque Spiker who designed, created and donated the whimsical 60-inch by 67-inch quilt and to all the volunteers who helped sell raffle tickets: Acme Foundation Secretary Ann Aldridge of Berkeley, Advisory Board Member Yvonne Scott from Clearlake Veterinary Clinic, Advisory Board Member Jan Woycheshin of San Leandro and Dr. Debra Sally from Clearlake Veterinary Clinic.   

One hundred percent of the $760 in proceeds will go to qualifying grant recipients to help with the veterinary costs of their seriously ill cats and dogs.

The foundation’s annual fundraiser had to be canceled last year due to the Valley fire. This year the event is scheduled for Sept. 18 at Twin Pine Casino and Hotel Event Center.

The Acme Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
