Iams Creates Annual “Mike Arms/Iams Hero Award” For Animal Welfare
Inaugural Award Presented to Creator of Iams Home 4 the Holidays Pet Adoption Campaign
Today, Iams presented Mike Arms, president of Helen Woodward Animal Center and founder of the Iams Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption program, with the Iams Lifetime Hero Achievement Award in recognition of his commitment and extraordinary contributions to enhancing the lives of homeless animals for more than 30 years. In addition, Iams announced the creation of the annual Mike Arms/Iams Hero Award. Every year, the Mike Arms/Iams Hero Award will be presented to a person or animal organization that exemplifies the commitment and passion for the lives of orphaned animals similar to what Arms has been doing for so many years.
“I’m truly honored by this award. Anyone who knows me is aware that I’m much better at giving than receiving,” said Mike Arms, president of Helen Woodward Animal Center. “The whole Iams Home 4 the Holidays program was just a thought, it was the wonderful people that cared that really made it happen.”
For the past 12 years, Iams has joined forces with Arms and the Helen Woodward Animal Center for the annual adoption campaign to help raise awareness of orphaned animals in shelters and rescues around the world. Through the program and his work, Mike Arms has created new ways to increase public awareness about orphaned animals, increase the number of pet adoptions, lower euthanasia rates, and set records for the number of people that are receiving humane education.
"Mike has been an incredible partner for us and we wanted to recognize his amazing contributions to enhancing the lives of homeless animals, not just in the U.S., but all over the world," said Michel Brousset, marketing director, P&G Pet Care. "Mike’s relentless passion is evidenced by the 5 million orphaned pets he has help save – Iams couldn’t be more proud to present this recognition to him."
