Gary Ptak Introduces “The Gift that Gives Back”

Created with the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LA/SPCA) shelter and New Orleans in mind, Gary Ptak recently launched a special Fleur de Lis pendant in remembrance of Hurricane Katrina. As a Tulane University alumnus, Ptak was deeply saddened by the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina. While living in New Orleans, Ptak began adopting dogs from the LA/SPCA and has since adopted three more. When the shelter was destroyed after Hurricane Katrina, Ptak began working closely with the people at the LA/SPCA to help rebuild what was lost. Ptak wholeheartedly supports the goal of the LA/SPCA and hopes to increase the public’s awareness of the great efforts put forth by the shelter to find homes for an estimated 15,000 animals that were pulled from the waters during and following Hurricane Katrina. Ptak periodically donates his personal time and effort to this organization and revisits New Orleans numerous times throughout the year.

Gary Ptak, the founder of Gary Ptak, LLC, is an innovative fine jewelry designer and GIA graduate gemologist committed to creating pieces that meet the highest standards of excellence. Located in Mamaroneck, New York, Gary Ptak, LLC is a family business established upon the ideals of tradition and experience from generations within the jewelry industry. A portion of the proceeds from Gary Ptak, LLC is donated to various charities, his central focus being to help the LA/SPCA after the horrific events of Hurricane Katrina. With the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina leaving thousands of animals displaced in Louisiana, Ptak wants to do his part to help to pick up the pieces.

With the recent anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, our nation still faces the ongoing problem of rebuilding the New Orleans. To help give back, Ptak is donating 50% of the proceeds from the Fleur de Lis pendant to the LA/SPCA.
