Support Animal Cheer Fund even in the New Year
The Boksburg SPCA's Christmas Cheer Fund has reached a total of R23 685 by January 2.
The Advertiser and SPCA challenge residents and businesses in Boksburg continue to supporting the society in its efforts to raise much-needed funds still after the festive season. We will publish the names in the newspaper.
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. Some of these animals still end up in the kennels after New Year, especially with fireworks events that scare them and they run away.
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 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.
