RIPON, Wis. — Laundry equipment brand Speed Queen reports it has embarked on a partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, becoming the organization’s official laundry partner, joining in its mission to save the lives of all shelter animals.
“From product development and sales to marketing and manufacturing, Speed Queen is a brand made up of animal lovers,” says Cody Masluk, vice president and general manager of Speed Queen residential.
“I’m excited to lend our support to Best Friends, an organization that closely mirrors our values as a company to make a difference each day.”
Best Friends Animal Society is a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters by 2025.
With lifesaving programs all across the country, as well as the nation’s largest no-kill animal sanctuary, Best Friends works collaboratively with a network of more than 3,300 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members nationwide to “Save Them All.”
“We could not be more thankful for Speed Queen and this partnership,” says Candi Maciel, director of corporate partnerships for Best Friends. “We’re always in need of fresh blankets and beds for pets in our care, and now we’ll be able to ensure that with our brand-new machines and their support.”
Speed Queen kicked off the partnership by sending a team of employees to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah to spend a week volunteering their time helping animals. As the official laundry partner, the company will also assist in meeting the laundry equipment needs of the nonprofit at facilities across the country.
“Make no mistake, this is a true partnership,” says Masluk. “Speed Queen is committed to getting its hands dirty and doing all we can to help animals and join the Best Friends charge of no-kill in the United States by 2025.”
