BuzzRx Announces $750,000 Milestone with the ASPCA
Today, BuzzRx, the only provider of free prescription discount cards benefiting nonprofits year-round, announced that its program with the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) has donated $750,000 to the nonprofit organization since the program launched in November 2016. These lifesaving funds help support the nation’s most vulnerable animals and could provide nearly 1,500,000 meals for shelter cats and dogs while they wait to get adopted. The organizations are proud to help bring pets and people together to promote healthier, more active lifestyles, which is core to BuzzRx’s mission to help build stronger communities by aligning with nonprofits.
BuzzRx has seen significant growth in the usage of their card benefiting the ASPCA—a 7 percent increase in donations last year, resulting in more than $150,000 donated. This is a timely resource for many families, as more than 23 million American households—nearly 1 in 5 nationwide—adopted a pet during the pandemic. The card is beneficial for prescription pet medications if the prescription is filled at a “human” pharmacy. Additionally, the donations have no effect on the prescription discounts and are made at no cost to the cardholder—every time someone saves using the card with the ASPCA logo, BuzzRx donates to their organization.
“We’re thankful for BuzzRx’s support of the ASPCA’s lifesaving work, and this milestone of $750,000 in donations helps us continue to make a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable animals across the nation,” said Christina Wyman, Vice President of Cause Partnerships at the ASPCA. “BuzzRx’s vital contributions elevate our efforts to help protect pets and keep them in safe and loving homes.”
BuzzRx Co-founder & CEO Matt Herfield said, “We are thrilled to be celebrating this milestone of three-quarters of a million dollars donated to the ASPCA. Many Americans continue to turn to pet adoption to enrich their lives. We are happy to support the ASPCA in preparing shelter pets for adoption and helping prevent cruelty to animals throughout the country.”
The Prescription Discount Card can be used by anyone—insured or uninsured. Cardholders can save up to 80 percent and the average BuzzRx customer saves 60 percent per prescription, resulting in more than $1 billion saved. It is accepted at more than 60,000 drug stores nationwide. Look up prescription savings by zip code at BuzzRx.com and present the card at the pharmacy when filling or refilling a prescription.
