The community is invited to attend a Big Check Presentation at the City of Surprise Community Resource Center on Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 3 p.m. Through this Target program, team members who volunteer many hours are chosen at random to award a donation to an organization of their choice. Local team member Dennis Olney chose Chance Shelter, a nonprofit in Surprise, to receive a donation of $15,000 as part of Target's Giving Tuesday efforts. Founded in 2015, Chance Shelter is a community-based nonprofit dedicated to keeping pets and the people who love them together. Through veterinary assistance, spay/neuter services, pet food and supply assistance, crisis support, and responsible rehoming, the organization helps Surprise-area families overcome hardship and emergencies without giving up their pets. The Target team selected Chance Shelter because of its commitment to supporting the diverse Surprise community, which includes retirees, families, and military personnel.
