JACKSON, MI — American 1 Credit Union raised $4,000 for the Cascades Humane Society through its Saturday, Feb. 13 Paws & Claws Expo event.

In addition to the $4,000, some of the hundreds in attendance at the American 1 Events Center donated food, toys, kitty litter and much more, according to a news release from the credit union.

American 1 received none of the proceeds and covered all the expenses for the event, the release reads. The event at 228 W. Ganson St. included a pet fashion show featuring several animals from the shelter.

There was also a Facebook photo contest, which Connie Strine, Pebbles and Izzy won.
