Spay-getti and No Balls Fundraiser -SPCA

Jan 24, 2015 | 10:15 AM

Bob Barker has famously said; “Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered.”
 

  • Fact: 99% of the animals that come into the SPCA are not spayed or neutered.
  • Fact: In six years, one un-spayed female dog and her un-spayed offspring can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs.
  • Fact: One un-spayed female cat and one un-neutered male cate and their offspring can result in 420,000 kittens in 7 years

 The Prince Albert SPCA has partnered with Boston Pizza in Prince Albert for the Spay-getti & No Balls Fundraiser.  Our plan is to create awareness of the importance of Spaying and Neutering our animals.  Our goal is to raise $20,000.  All money raised will be split equally between the Prince Albert SPCA and the Boston Pizza Future Prospects Fund – which includes five charities; Juvenile Diabetes, Big Brothers & Sisters, The Rick Hanson Foundation, Live Different and Kid’s Help Phone.
 
The fundraiser is a two part event:  Part One; there are pledge sheets available at Boston Pizza and the SPCA to pick up and collect pledges.  We encourage children to get involved in this.  For every $100 raised, Boston Pizza will issue a coupon for a free Spaghetti & meatball meal. All pledge sheets and money must be handed in no later than Thursday, Feb. 12th, 2015.
 
Part two; There will be a kennel inside the Boston Pizza restaurant. The kennel will be operational on Feb 3rd to the 7th and then again on Feb 9th to the 13 th.   The hours of kennel operation on these specific days are 10:00am to 12:00pm, and then again 2:00pm to 4:00pm.  We would like people to volunteer to be “captured” as an animal at large, be “kenneled”, and then be required to phone friends to collect money in order to be released from the kennel. We are already creating quite a buzz in the business community, and businesses are arranging to go head to head to raise money for this fun event.  Boston Pizza will buy you lunch just for being a good sport!!
 
The person who raises the most money throughout the time frame of this fundraiser will win the grand prize: 

  •  
  • An entry for a team of four to the SPCA Fore-For-Pets Celebrity Golf Tournament July 22nd & 23 rd, 2015.
  • AND an office lunch or family party for up to 100 people catered by Boston Pizza – A PRIZE PACKAGE WORTH $4000.00!!
