Several of the featured comedians will be performing live during this spring run, offering audiences a preview of the powerful voices and unforgettable personalities that will appear in the documentary.

Petco Love Invests $15,000 in Sacramento SPCA to Save and Improve the Lives of Pets in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Sacramento SPCA received a $15,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for pets in Sacramento. For nearly 30 years, the Sacramento SPCA has operated a low-cost spay and neuter clinic dedicated to reducing pet overpopulation. Today, the shelter’s Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center ranks in the nation’s top five clinics performing high-volume spay and neuter surgeries at a single location, providing high-quality care at scale in South Sacramento.

“This investment by Petco Love allows us to continue providing affordable spay and neuter services for our community, reducing pet overpopulation across shelters throughout our region and saving more lives,” said Jennifer Brent, CEO of the Sacramento SPCA.

In 2025, the shelter altered 21,733 animals, including more than 6,800 community cats, catapulting the shelter past a 350,000-surgery milestone. In addition, the clinic received four national Snippy Award nominations for their lifesaving leadership in high-volume spay and neuter, vaccinations, microchips, and being a champion for community cats.

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested more than $430 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with more than 7.1 million pets adopted and counting.

“Our investment in the Sacramento SPCA is part of more than $12M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Chelsea Staley, President of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched Petco Love Lost, a free national lost and found database that uses photo-matching technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”

“As the region’s only full-service, 100% nonprofit animal shelter, we are honored to be a national leader in providing low-cost and no-cost spay and neuter services to those who need them most in Sacramento—serving the public, partner shelters, rescue organizations, and community cat advocates,” said Brent. “We are deeply grateful for the support of our community—individuals, local businesses, and foundations—who make this lifesaving care possible for pets and the people who love them.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 17, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Sacramento SPCA announced today the appointment of Jennifer Brent as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective October 14, 2024.

Prior to CWC, Brent held executive leadership roles at two private foundations supporting the needs of companion animals through spay/neuter and adoption and served as a Commissioner to the Department of Animal Care and Control for the City of Los Angeles.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer to our lifesaving team,” said Susan Gray, Sacramento SPCA Board President. “She has a proven track record of effective leadership and a deep passion for helping animals and people. We are confident that her vision and expertise will guide us into the next chapter of lifesaving work in our community.”

Brent recently moved from Southern California to take on the leadership role at the Sacramento SPCA, a nationally recognized leader for delivering high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, along with adoption, wellness, and outreach programs that positively impact more than 40,000 animals each year.

“I am honored to join the Sacramento SPCA and work alongside such a dedicated team,” said Brent. “I look forward to learning more about the needs of animals and people in Sacramento and building on the strong foundation already in place to save more lives.”

Integrated Comfort Expands Operations and Develops Enhanced Monitoring and Controls Internet Dashboard

DualCool HVAC

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 21, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Integrated Comfort, Inc. (ICI) has expanded. In June 2015, ICI moved from Vacaville, Calif. to a larger office and production facility in West Sacramento, Calif. ICI also opened a facility in Phoenix, Arizona to provide manufacturing and logistical support in one of our higher concentration areas for DualCool installations.

Between July 2015 and January 2016, ICI completed the installation of DualCool(R) evaporative pre-coolers on 100 more Walmart and Sam's Club stores. Each of these stores now has DualCool equipment on six or more 10- to 20-ton rooftop HVAC units (RTUs) that supply dedicated fresh air into the stores. Installations were in Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, and California. The 2015 program is the fourth major series of DualCool installations for Walmart.

The current campaign with Walmart takes DualCool efficiency, maintenance, and ease-of-use to a whole new level with monitoring and controls. For this program, ICI added remote monitoring and control technology with a web-based (dashboard) platform viewable from any browser, smartphone, or tablet. Remote monitoring outputs include fault detection, which can report general HVAC problems on DualCool-equipped RTUs before store conditions are affected.

Working with Transformative Wave, ICI customized an enhanced controls solution for Walmart. Equipment includes a microcontroller installed on each of the DualCool-enabled RTUs, as well as each Air Handling Unit (AHU), when present. One microcontroller per building functions as the Master Controller. This unit is located near the "global" outdoor air thermostat used to activate all DualCool units at an adjustable temperature setpoint. The Master Controller is the Wi-Fi communication hub between all DualCool controllers onsite.

In addition to managing the DualCool pump, these microcontrollers manage a number of interlocks between DualCool and key RTU components and can continuously adjust to supply outdoor air in the most efficient manner.

"Our eIQ platform controllers are a perfect fit for Integrated Comfort's DualCool requirements to deliver significant energy savings to large retail stores," states Justin Sipe, SVP of Technology for Transformative Wave. "We were very excited to partner with Integrated Comfort on their 2015 Walmart project, because we both have great products, which combined, provide a game-changing, user-friendly management dashboard affording huge cooling cost savings."

This 2015 Walmart program also implements real-time performance reporting that uses monitored parameters to compute hour-by-hour DualCool benefits. Outputs include both demand reduction (kW reduced) and energy savings (kWh saved). By combining these savings reports with electric utility rate data, the new monitoring dashboard can continuously compute electricity cost savings to Walmart.

"ICI has been proud to provide Walmart with enterprise cooling efficiency solutions since 2011. Our 2015 campaign has been the most exciting to date, based on the introduction of real-time fault detection and energy savings analytics," states Steve Short, Integrated Comfort's General Manager. "This new platform exponentially increases our ability to support our customer, and demonstrate our value."

Company Information:
Integrated Comfort Inc. is a privately held California corporation that develops and markets energy-efficient cooling products and systems.

Preparation Beyond the Normal for Greater Bay and Sacramento Areas Miss California Ladies

Miss California USA

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 18, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Beauty pageants are sometimes criticized for being overly competitive, cut throat and an advantage to the wealthy due to high costs of preparing for and participating in the pageant, says Stephanie Farrell of Miss Greater Bay Area, Calif. California's state pageant, owned and operated by Top 10 Productions of Southern California, works with several independent regional directors who host preliminary pageants that qualify contestants for the Miss California USA(R) and Miss California TEEN USA(R) pageants. The 2016 state pageant will be held in Long Beach, California from December 4-6, 2015.

Northern California Regional Director, Stephanie Farrell, is working to debunk what she calls a myth about pageants as she helps advance nine northern California women who are running for 2016 Miss California USA(R) and Miss California Teen USA(R). Farrell explains that young ladies join pageants because participation helps achieve their professional goals and gives them local, statewide, national and sometimes international exposure.

Farrell's aim is to help all young ladies who wish to be involved get a fair opportunity to properly prepare for this event.

"I try to make it so that all our ladies - regardless of funding - can be well prepared to compete for these coveted titles," Farrell said. "I believe that the experience is much more than winning a crown. I mentor young ladies to gain an experience of not only self-empowerment, but also to help each other. We want our ladies to understand team work and sisterhood. It is important they experience the satisfaction of not only working on their own beauty, but also of helping others to improve and be their best. This, in turn, makes them stronger and more confident women."

To that end, Farrell is holding a "Crown Diva Boot Camp" event in the Bay Area, where all contestants get an opportunity to receive professional coaching from a "Pageant Boutique & Pageant Academy" owned and operated by Crown Diva of Santa Monica, Calif. Famous for an impressive history of coaching pageant winners, Crown Diva Owner Kristen Bradford has personally trained a Miss USA, Miss California USA and several other state and local winners from various systems. "The key to doing well in any pageant system is preparation," her website reads. The Crown Diva training program is designed to help contestants take their performance to the next level and bring home the crown. Contestants will be coached interviewing and answering questions, walking in high heels, maintaining composure while on stage in a swimsuit and evening gown, tips on their best colors, makeup and hair styling, fitness and nutrition, and exuding beauty and confidence.

However, Farrell's approach goes beyond these technical aspects of pageant preparation. Farrell has recruited two local businesses to help make the pageant preparation experience much more meaningful for all her candidates.

On Saturday evening November 21, 2015, between 7 to 9 p.m., Black Bear Diner of Pleasanton will host eight northern California beauties where they will have the opportunity to meet restaurant guests, answer pageant-type interview questions asked from guests, and gain a real experience endorsing a product.

Each lady will endorse an entree from Black Bear Diner's "Fit & Focused" menu. Black Bear will be offering a 20 percent discount for all Fit & Focused meals that are ordered during the hours of 7 to 9 p.m. on this evening. This will allow each lady to practice extemporaneous presentation in front of the public, and give them experience endorsing a product. Farrell says this experience is so valuable because the winners of the Miss California USA(R) and Miss California Teen USA(R) pageants will be hired to promote all aspects of California, and their journey will include endorsing many businesses and organizations within the state.

Later that night, Pleasanton's Doubletree Hilton Hotel is graciously sponsoring rooms, where the ladies will spend the night to further bond and prepare for their pageant.

Northern California's Miss California USA(R) candidates are Jayne Geist, Miss Greater Bay Area USA(R); Domonique Jones, Miss Capital Cities USA(R); Nancy Wang, Miss Golden Gate USA(R); Ronae Wells, Miss Greater Sacramento USA(R); and Sofia Hanan, Miss Golden State USA(R).

The Miss California Teen USA(R) candidates are Alexis Aguila, Miss Greater Sacramento Teen USA(R); Brooklyn Lowrey, Miss Golden State Teen USA(R), Kimberli Bautista, Miss Capital Cities Teen USA(R); and Linnea Visbal, Miss Greater Bay Area Teen USA(R).

The producers of the Miss California USA(R) and Miss California Teen USA(R) pageants is San Diego based Top 10 Productions, Inc. The winner of MISS CALIFORNIA USA(R) will go on to compete at the national MISS USA(R) competition which is televised live on FOX. The winner of Miss California Teen USA(R) will go on to compete at Miss teen USA(R).
