This September, AmeriVet Raced Over 2,200 Miles to Support Veterinary Mental Wellness
SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — AmeriVet Veterinary Partners partnered with Not One More Vet (NOMV), a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, to participate in their Race Around the World event from September 1 – September 30, 2022, in an effort to raise funds to support veterinarians struggling with mental health issues.
“As a partner of NOMV, we were honored to be a part of a race initiative that raised awareness and funds for mental health resources in the veterinary industry,” said Thomas Thill, Chief Executive Officer of AmeriVet Veterinary Partners. “We hope our efforts further support the organization’s goals and help to move the needle in the veterinary mental health space.”
The donations raised through The Race Around the World event contribute to several of NOMV’s programs including: support grants to individuals in crisis, educational programming, peer support programs, and additional special initiatives.
The “AmeriVet Cares” team race page allowed all of AmeriVet Veterinary Partners employees, partners, and friends to join in on the race. Each participant tracked the miles they ran, walked, biked, or rode horseback throughout the month of September via Fitbit or Apple Watch or by logging their miles manually.
At the close of the race, the “AmeriVet Cares” race team logged a total of 2,203.33 miles. To support their efforts, AmeriVet Veterinary Partners contributed an additional five dollars per mile logged by their race team members, bringing the “AmeriVet Cares” race team to a total of $11,856.65 raised for Not One More Vet’s mission. AmeriVet also plans to gift the top four participants with new running/walking shoes for their contributions to the cause.
“Partnering with AmeriVet has provided so much momentum for our Race Around the World,” said NOMV’s Executive Director Darlene Bos. “The AmeriVet Cares Race Team brought camaraderie and joy to the event. The generous donation from AmeriVet recognizing their team’s achievements will help us provide more resources and support for veterinary professionals in crisis through free NOMV programs like individual grants, peer support, and outreach and awareness.”

AmeriVet’s corporate headquarters in San Antonio, TX hosts quarterly volunteer outings for team members to support such local organizations as San Antonio Pets Alive, the San Antonio Humane Society, SNIPSA, and the San Antonio Zoo. At a national level, AmeriVet partners with Not One More Vet (NOMV), a non-profit organization that seeks to promote mental wellness and prevent suicide in the veterinary industry. At home, AmeriVet Cares ensures that all team members have access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program that provides coping and crisis support to employees and their families.
