WATCH: Local businesses show tremendous support for Midrand Reporter’s #WeSupportMidrandSPCA initiative
MIDRAND – Under the banner of Caxton Cares, the Midrand Reporter called on the community, and particularly local businesses, to support the publication's #WeSupportMidrandSPCA initiative. And we are gobsmacked at the support local businesses have shown. We were able to hand over a substantial amount of dog food for the Midrand SPCA on Nelson Mandela International Day.
The Midrand Reporter spent some seriously rewarding time at the Midrand SPCA this Nelson Mandela International Day on Thursday, 18 July.
Under the banner of Caxton Cares, the Midrand Reporter called on the Midrand community, and particularly local businesses, to assist us. For every advert purchased in our special Nelson Mandela International Day feature, a portion of the booking fee went towards dog food for the Midrand SPCA. This was under a #WeSupportMidrandSPCA initiative.
