Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause helps animals in Campbell River
S
ome animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia. The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Campbell River will be held at Nunns Creek Park on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 11 a.m. Proceeds from the Campbell River walk will benefit animals at the Campbell River SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including fun dog games such as the bowl-licking contest, face-painting, a salmon barbecue hosted by Marine Harvest with the company matching all donations generated from the barbecue up to $1,500, top fundraising prizes, and bouncy castle for children. Generously supported by our local sponsors – CTV, Campbell River Mirror,
2DayFM 99.7 the Radio Station, Strathcona Toyota, MacTavish Welding, Great Canadian Oil Change, Seymour Pacific Developments LTD., Campbell River Pet Centre, Associated Tire Auto, Shar-Kare Feeds & Pet Supplies, Dogwood Pet Mart, Marine Harvest, and RH Printing & Graphic Design– the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause. “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and fourlegged participants.” Thank you to our provincial sponsors: Scotiabank, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, Global BC, CKNW AM 980, Classic Rock 101, and TV Week.
