At PetPax Co., compassion and community are at the heart of everything we do. We’re more than just a business—as a Chelsea-based company, we’re a part of the Massachusetts community, and we believe in the power of giving back to those who need it most.
With the new school year having just begun, PetPax Co. wanted to support students by providing them with essential school gear that they need to succeed - that’s why we recently partnered with Beat the Odds Boston and Malden Public Schools, donating a total of 125 backpacks!
Beat the Odds Boston is a local organization dedicated to providing opportunities and mentorship to under-resourced youth. Their mission is to help young people build resilience, overcome obstacles, and achieve success both in and out of the classroom. By supporting Beat the Odds, PetPax Co. hopes to contribute to the educational success of these students and help them feel prepared and empowered as they pursue their dreams.
“We’re so excited to give back to our community in Boston by supporting an organization that champions children and the arts, like Beat the Odds!” said Nathan Ruff, co-Founder & Chief Marketing Officer of PetPax Co.
Similarly, our donation to Malden Public Schools reflects our commitment to supporting education in the greater Boston area. We know that having the right tools can make a world of difference, and we’re proud to provide backpacks to students who may not have easy access to these resources. Malden Public Schools is a vital part of the local community, serving a diverse population of students and working tirelessly to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
As Anthony Gatti, co-Founder & CEO, said, “This donation is more than just a gesture of goodwill; it’s a reflection of our company’s values—supporting families and giving back to the community that has supported us since the beginning, and we love it!”
For us at PetPax Co., this effort isn’t just a one-time event. Giving back to the community is woven into our company’s DNA. Our founders, both raised in the Boston area, have a deep commitment to supporting the communities that have helped shape them. Having grown up here, they understand the unique challenges that many local families face and are passionate about making a positive difference through meaningful contributions. This donation is just one of many ways we’re committed to giving back to the place we call home.
As a company, we believe that when businesses succeed, they should pay it forward. That’s why we’re proud to continue building relationships with local organizations like Beat the Odds Boston and Malden Public Schools. We recognize the importance of empowering our youth, and we’re honored to play a small part in helping students achieve their full potential.
At PetPax Co., we’re not just about delivering high-quality, innovative products that enrich the lives of pets and their families; we’re about building stronger, more resilient communities. We’re dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others - because, ultimately, that’s what community is all about.
Thank you to Beat the Odds Boston and Malden Public Schools for the incredible work you do. Together, we can continue to uplift and support the next generation, ensuring that they have the tools, support, and confidence they need to thrive.
