Three hour rebound marathon in aid of Wollies
The event will take place at Ninapark SPAR in Akasia on Saturday, 17 April.
Animals lovers, Wollies animal shelter needs your help.
Founder of Wollies animal shelter, Cilla Trexler, said they are running low on food and blankets for their furry friends.
“We are caring for over 200 four-legged animals.
“We need all the help we can get.
To help raise funds, a three-hour rebound marathon will take place later this month in aid of Wollies animal shelter.
The event will take place at Ninapark SPAR in Akasia on Saturday, 17 April.
More or less 15 jumpers of Definition and Fitness will take to the trampoline to show their support for Wollies.
Dohme Steynberg, organiser and owner of Definition and Fitness, said that Wollies is a non-profit organisation that is close to her heart.
“I saw a post that was created on Wollies’ Facebook page where they say they are in desperate need of food to stock-up before winter.
“Since we launched the project, a lot of businesses and the community have joined the fundraiser.
“This will be our first fundraising initiative, but most definitely not out last,” she said.
Wollies urges the community to attend the event and to donate dog or cat food and blankets.
“Be part of the fun and come cheer the brave jumpers of Rebound Fitness.
“We would like to thank the community that donates food regularly and have a caring heart,” she said.
“Sadly with the downturn of the economy, which has affected many people and many communities, it’s always the animals that suffer first.
“They end up being fed less, their owners are forced to downgrade to smaller homes which in turn means that the animals cannot remain with the family.
“So many factors are against our precious furry family members – we need to help where we can to save as many lives as we possibly can,” said Trexler.
