About the Cutest Pets Contest

The cutest pets contest is a fundraiser during the Northeast State Foundation's Because of You Campaign, which benefits many student scholarships provided through the Foundation. Any Northeast State employee or student can submit their pet, anyone can donate to vote for each pet, and all pets are included in a calendar for the next year!
‍
Grand prize for the cutest pet is a $100 PetSmart gift card for the owner!
