“Here at PenFed, we are proud to support our local community and make San Antonio a better place,” said PenFed’s Senior Vice President of the San Antonio Service Center Dave Silvey. “We believe we have a responsibility to support the community where our members and employees work. That’s why we are proud to announce these donations.”

The Animal Defense League of Texas is a true no-kill shelter for abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs and cats, looking to enhance the quality of life for these animals by providing needed medical care, including spaying and neutering. PenFed donated $5,000 to support The Animal Defense League’s mission.

San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo’s Wounded Service Member Program provides wounded military/veterans along with our first responders a VIP experience at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. This allows the organization to show their support and dedication to these men and women who have given so much of themselves while serving others.
