On August 18, Community Shares of Mid Ohio (COSMO) awarded Mercy For Animals the “Member of the Year Award” for our efforts to expose and end cruelty to animals on factory farms, our award-winning documentary, “Fowl Play,” and our vegan outreach activities and resources. MFA generated international press coverage for our undercover investigation of an Ohio dairy farm and resulting animal abuse charges. The award recognizes the Community Shares member organization that has made the most notable and significant contributions to building a stronger local community.
Corey Roscoe, Ohio Campaign Coordinator, accepted the award on behalf of MFA at the Columbus ceremony. “MFA has been working tirelessly in Ohio for over ten years. This award validates that our community values the important work we do to help end cruelty to farmed animals.”
COSMO is a coalition of central-Ohio, community-based, non-profit organizations collaborating in workplace giving campaigns. MFA and the 60 other COSMO members are volunteer-driven organizations that address a wide range of social and environmental issues. COSMO members focus on long-term, prevention-oriented solutions that emphasize social change and justice.
