ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Nov. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- This holiday, sending seasonal greeting cards can also help benefit animal health. Morris Animal Foundation (MAF), the largest nongovernmental, nonprofit source of funding for companion animal and wildlife health studies has created a holiday card that highlights its first children's art contest winner. This year's winner is 13-year-old Steven Bauer of Missouri for his drawing "Penguins at Sea."
"Penguins at Sea" features several penguins playing outside their wintry home. This vision of happy, healthy animals is a warm-hearted reminder of MAF's mission -- to improve the health and well-being of companion animals and wildlife.
The holiday greeting cards are available in packs of 25 cards and can be purchased for a $30 minimum donation per pack. MAF will direct 100 percent of the holiday card proceeds toward animal health studies; not a single penny will be used to support administration or fund raising. To order cards, call 800.243.2345, or go online at http://www.MorrisAnimalFoundation.org.
