The Ultimate Animal Charity Fund Raiser 2012

Picture
Hi everyone

Hope you all had a fantastic New Year!!

So it’s that time again were I put my plea out for assistance and I’m not afraid to BEG………. LOL!!

As you know last year with your HELP regarding donations, sponsorship not to mention everyone that performed and assisted at NO COST to the fund, we were able to raise R 92 000.00.

This money was split between the following charities:

Barking Mad                                                                                    Tracy Barrows
Kitty & Puppy Haven                                                         SPCA Midrand
Barking Mad                                                                                    SPCA Brakpan
Husky Rescue                                                                      SPCA Germiston
The Jane Goodall Institute SA                                         4 Paws
Animals in Distress                                                             Wet Nose
The Cat Samaritan                                                             Irwin Animal Shelter
Free Me Rescue centre                                                     CLAW
Animal Ambulance

I’m looking at possibly doing it at CASALINGA in Mildersdrift this year on around the 4th August.

I want to go a little bigger this year so I have already put my plea out to the following bands:

Goldfish                                                                    Locnville

Karen Zoid                                                                Flash Republic

Zebra & Giraffe                                                       The Parlotones

Prime Circle

I have already heard back from the Booking Agent for Locnville, She said that they may not be able to Help but she has other bands that she’s sure would be able to Help me.

However they just may want to be a part of an event that is getting bigger & better each year!!!

The Parlotones unfortunately would only be able to perform during the week for Pro Bono and not on a weekend. L

There is also an up and coming Girl band, Attack of the Strawberries and I know that they will be happy to be a part of this event!

I’m just waiting for them to confirm the date!

I have also sent an email asking the bands & singers from last year if they would like to be a part of it again this year.

Already I have had confirmation from:

DJ NIQI B

LITTLE SISTER

PHILIPPA SUTHERLAND

KEN THOMAS aka ELVIS

I would also like to add that I already have a 4 plate Gas stove that was bought at last year’s fund raiser and donated back to me for this year,

So I would like to thank Michelle Branco and Claudia Basile.

So as you can see it’s all GO from here.

I will update only once a week and not every time I get a donation/sponsor.

So you can expect an email from me either way every week.

So on that note, I look forward to hearing from you!!

Let’s make 2012 Animal Fund Raiser one to mark on the calendar!



Here's to Old assistance and hopefully a lot of new assistance!!

Thanking you in advance for taking the time out to read my email!

HELP! PLEASE!


The Cluny Animal Trust needs you! If not you, your family, friends, associates, even your enemies will be welcome as long as they help us.
Put on your thinking caps. Get on your computers, telephones, Blackberries, whatever else you use to communicate and tell the world what we need. Somewhere, there must be someone who can help us with something.
The Cluny Animal Trust ALWAYS needs: veterinary supplies, animal food, (dogs, cats, cows, etc- all sorts), food bowls, kennels (a crate will be fine, thank you!), blankets or any fabric that can be used as bedding, leads, collars, harnesses, equine tack, and whatever else you can think of to make some poor animal's life a little bit better.
The Cluny  Animal Trust needs a hospital, preferably  close to our vet, Dr Katherine Barker, in Fouriesburg. Do you have land or a building that is lying around doing nothing?
The Cluny Animal Trust needs a mobile clinic, which means a large kombi-type vehicle to transport the vet and her equipment to outlying areas where she treats so many animals in need.
The Cluny Animal Trust needs dvds, posters, pamphlets and other educational materials to educate animal owners.
The Cluny Animal Trust needs money, lots of it, to buy everything that does not get donated.
The Cluny Animal Trust needs you, your energy and your ideas, to help us in our fund-raising projects and to educate animal owners.
Please phone Heather on +27(0)83-556-9183 or e-mail
heapie@gmail.com even if you have just a little time to spare for us.

Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who does nothing because he could only do a little (Edmund Burke, British statesman and philosopher, 1729-1797)

Currently, for fund-raising projects, we need to source collection tins, plain-coloured webbing dog collars and someone with an industrial strength sewing machine to embroider names on to the collars. Can you help? Please phone Heather +27(0)83-556-9183 or e-mail
heapie@gmail.com
 
Remember, you can always donate to the Cluny Animal Trust,  account number 035278846, Standard Bank (Bethlehem), branch code 055033. We would like to thank you for your contribution, so please e-mail your proof of payment to
heapie@gmail.com or fax to +27(0)58 223 072.,
