Cesar Chavez Day: The staff of The Center for Animal Wellness is proud to honor the civil rights leader's legacy by participating in Colorado's Cesar Chavez Day of Service and Learning.

In 1962, Cesar Chavez founded the first successful farm workers' union in American history. He led the historic non-violent movement for farm worker rights and dedicated himself to building a movement of poor working people. To commemorate Chavez's life and legacy, the Governor's Commission on Community Service has launching a statewide effort promoting the Cesar Chavez Day of Service and Learning on Saturday, March 26, 2011.

In honor of this Day of Service and Learning, The Center for Animal Wellness will partner again with The Coalition for the Homeless and Merial in order to provide various free services, including exams, heartworm tests, and vaccines to patients in need.
