(WENY) - One course at Mansfield University is assisting a local animal shelter, and they are asking for your help. WENY News spoke with Meghan Moffett who is a student at the university about the course and what you can do to help.

PR workshop group is a capstone course at Mansfield University. The course focuses on gaining real world experience by planning and executing a PR campaign for a local client.

The local client the group chose to raise money and awareness for is Second Chance Animal Sanctuaries in Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, all classes at the school had to be moved to online, which means all the fundraising had to be moved to online. With this being said, there is a GoFundMe fundraiser to benefit the shelter. The fundraiser begins today. Moffett says “we are just using this to try to gain donations for supplies, for food, cleaning, veterinary care, toys, anything else the animals may need in the shelter."

The fundraiser runs until Sunday the 19th. Click here if you would like to participate in the fundraiser.
