Rock sensation and animal-lover Pink has raised almost £100,000 for animal charities, by supporting Party for Animals Worldwide (PAW) and holding a concert at the Cardiff International Arena in August.

PAW is a not for profit organisation created to raise funds and awareness for animal welfare and conservation projects worldwide.

Leading veterinary charity PDSA, one of the charities to benefit, was delighted to have been involved. It relies entirely on the generosity of the public to fund its PetAid services, which this year will cost more than £41 million to deliver.

PDSA National Fundraising Manager, Simi Epstein, says: “It was a fantastic event, and Pink fans did a wonderful job of supporting animal welfare. The money PDSA received – over £15,000 - will make a real difference to the lives of sick and injured pets. This is enough to buy a digital x-ray machine that will assist PDSA vets in the diagnosis of serious trauma injuries.”

Pink has been an animal lover for many years and tragically lost her beloved Bulldog, Elvis last year after he drowned in her LA home’s pool, Elvis was given to her by friend, Lisa Marie Priesley.
