Don’t stop supporting Animal Christmas Cheer Fund
The Boksburg SPCA launched its annual Christmas Cheer Fund recently, and a total of R18 390 has already been donated.
The Advertiser and SPCA challenge residents and businesses in Boksburg to come on board and keep on supporting the society in its efforts to raise much-needed funds for the festive season. We will publish the names of the contributions until January 9 in the newspaper following.
Even with the cash-strapped economy, the community is urged to assist in any way they can.
Every year, around Christmas time, the SPCA finds its kennels full to the brim with donated, stray and abandoned animals.
The purpose of the Cheer Fund is to raise funds to cater for all the furry critters that must be fed and to give some Christmas treats to all the unfortunate pets behind bars.
As in the previous years, the Advertiser will recognise every sponsor (be it an individual, school, organisation or a business) in the newspaper over the next few weeks.
Contributions can be made at the society’s premises, in Railway Street, Boksburg, or deposited into its bank account: ABSA Eastlands, 4046388139.
Fax a copy of your proof of payment to the Boksburg SPCA on 011 916 5908, so that your donation can be acknowledged in the Advertiser.
The fund will run until the end of December.
