This year, the SPCA is not only welcoming people’s much-needed financial donations, that will be published in the City Times, but will also educate children at the facility.
The society is welcoming children and young adults between the ages of six and 18 years old, for an SPCA tour at a fee of R150 per person.
This money will be placed in the cheer fund.
“The money raised by this cheer fund will be used to build a veterinary clinic on our property,” said Benoni SPCA manager, Vicky Finnemore.
She added that they hope to raise over R100 000 this year.
“Every cent counts towards building this clinic, which will not only help the injured or stray animals brought into the SPCA, but also animals in the community,” she said.
The tour will be held every second Friday, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm, from October 14 to January 20.
According to Finnemore, each person will receive a goodie bag and an educational tour of the premises, at 3 Klein Street, Lakefield .
The society can cater for 10 children per tour.
Tour dates are: October 14 and 28, November 11 and 25, December 9 and 23 and January 6 and 20.
All the participants’ will be photographed during each tour and published in the City Times.
Entry fees are payable to the SPCA, with the child’s name and surname, by the Wednesday prior to the Friday of the tour date.
Businesses and community members may also donate any funds or goods to the society, so that they can continue helping destitute animals.
Each week, the previous week’s contributions will be published.
Anyone who donates to the SPCA and wants their donations to be published in the City Times, can email their name and the amount of the donation to sheinar@caxton.co.za.
