Our July 2020 Precision Cares recipient is the Community Cats of Benzie County. Their goal is to decrease the number of free-roaming cats in their community. They work with colonies of cats and attempt to trap and neuter 100% of those cats. Their “TNVR” program (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) starts with adult feral cats. They are vet checked, neutered, vaccinated, and returned to the colony where the caregiver will provide food and shelter. Young kittens are taken into the foster program to be sure they are healthy and friendly. Once they are old enough to be neutered and vaccinated (plus micro-chipped, de-wormed, and leukemia checked) they are placed into loving homes. Precision's donation will be used to fund equipment for their surgery room. Congratulations! To learn more, visit their website at: http://benziecats.org

22 2 None is the November Precision Cares recipient. Their mission is to stop the inconceivable number of veterans who take their own lives by reaching out, searching for, and supporting those who have sacrificed themselves both physically and mentally for this country, and now fight a daily inner battle with demons no one can see. They do this by helping our veterans with such things as financial aid, counseling, housing and many other facets of life that, when added together, can lead to a lack of hope and despair so bad that it leads to veterans contemplating the ultimate escape, suicide.
This donation will be used to help fund our annual Drew Kostic Memorial 5k Tough Run. This race was put together to continue raising awareness about veteran suicide. It is for veterans and the community to attend and gain more information on how they can help and support veterans in their communities.
Currently, 22 2 None is renovating the South Boardman Elementary School to support their efforts. For more information, visit their website at: www.222none.org
