A local sportswear and memorabilia merchandiser will donate 10 percent of its sales on the second Sunday of every month of the pro football season to the

Pennsylvania SPCA

to support homeless and abused dogs, according to a news release.

Sports Blitz, which has stores at 3071 William Penn Highway in Palmer Township and at 2544 MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township, will host the SPCA -- and adoptable 2nd Chance Dogs -- for kickoff events at noon and 4 p.m. Sunday at both locations. 2nd Chance Dogs are pit bulls that have been rescued and rehabilitated.

Sports Blitz has decided not to sell any Michael Vick-wear at the stores. Vick, who recently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, spent two years in custody after participating in dog fights.

It was a "philosophical" decision on the part of the company, spokesman Geoff Slick said. They said, "Let's do the right thing here." He said the promotion was "kind of a reaction" to Vick's signing, but that it is a "perfect fit" for the stores.
