Celebrate the HSSA’s 75th Anniversary with “Woof Down Wednesday”

Celebrate the HSSA’s 75th Anniversary with “Woof Down Wednesday”

Jul 9, 20193 min read

“Woof Down Wednesday” returns as the Humane Society of Southern Arizona teams up with several local restaurants on Wednesday, July 17.

Aside from raising funds for animals in need and supporting the programs provided for them, the day is meant to be a celebration — a big one, in fact. This year is the Humane Society of Southern Arizona’s 75th anniversary.

It shouldn’t hurt to be a homeless pet, and donating doesn’t have to hurt your wallet either. All you’ve got to do is eat at any of the participating restaurants and they’ll donate anywhere from 10% to 50% of what you spend on your meal.

It’s not all about food either. This year breweries, popular drinking spots, and even an art studio are pitching in to help those in need.

If you can’t make it to any of the restaurants you can easily donate online.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
