Brenda’s Cat Rescue (BCR), a 501(c)(3) non-profit cat rescue, would like to thank the Chestnut Hill Local for featuring a story last fall about PawPath Consulting, a free consulting company started by two Colonial School District students who are animal lovers wanting to help local animal rescues. BCR contacted Ethan Gold and Eliza Meersman, who are amazing, professional, talented and mature beyond their years. They set up projected time frames and goals and created impressive flyers and executed weekly social media marketing targets. They were also patient and respectful while dealing with me, someone who lacked their level of technical expertise.

Having had a career in development, marketing and public relations, I was hard pressed to remember that I was dealing with students and not paid professionals. It has been a pleasure working with Eliza and Ethan, and their friend Amelia, who joined as social media marketing manager for the seven-week project duration. These student leaders are not only philanthropic, focused and talented, they are a huge asset to the community. Reading about them in the Local was a gift to the cats and to myself who are enjoying increased social media presence. Thank you to the Local for featuring stories that positively impact our community. I encourage other animal rescues to take advantage of the resources that PawPath Consulting is offering free of charge to local rescues.
