#WeSupportArk this Nelson Mandela Day – join us!
CHARTWELL – Join us in lending a helping hand to the puppies at Ark Animal Centre this Nelson Mandela Day. Here's how ...
Nelson Mandela Day is all about giving back – and we here at the Fourways Review seriously know how to give back in our community. (Do you recall that our team scooped the award for Best Community Involvement at the 2018 Caxton Awards for our joint efforts with Ark Animal Centre on Nelson Mandela Day last year?)
Under the banner of Caxton Cares, the Fourways Review had joined Ark’s call for community members to donate their unwanted items to the centre’s new charity shop, which launched on the day. We also appealed to readers to donate much-needed food and necessities for the puppies in Ark’s care.
The response from our Fourways community left us gobsmacked as residents came through to the Chartwell-based centre on the day with car-loads filled with items.
Now, we plan to give back in a bigger and even better way – and again, we need our readers’ help for this #WeSupportArk initiative.
This year, the Ark Animal Centre team plans to pave five picnic areas at the centre. Join us for a day of paving and, of course, you can spend some time with the puppies – think of a day (or even just 67 minutes of a day) walking, playing and bathing puppies. Such fun!
There’ll be a designated donation area too – so bring along dog blankets, puppy food (including tinned food), toys, treats, cleaning products, spray bottles, mops, brooms and buckets for the centre.
You can also donate any of your unwanted household items to Ark’s Attic Charity Shop.
Don’t miss the Fourways Review’s on-the-day coverage of all the activities taking place and as we give thanks to those readers who lend a hand to our efforts. We’ll be active on our website (www.fourwaysreview.co.za), Facebook (Fourways Review) and Twitter (@Fourways_Review).
In next week’s edition of the newspaper and on our website, we look forward to showcasing the efforts of the day in a Nelson Mandela Day feature. Attention advertisers: For those of you who choose to showcase your Nelson Mandela Day activities in our print and online feature, a portion of your booking fee will go towards buying food for the centre’s puppies. It’s a win-win!
So, come on Fourways, let’s join hands once more on Nelson Mandela Day and support Ark Animal Centre.
