The Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre is asking animal lovers of all ages to help change the lives of animals in need, one step at a time, at its Friends for Life! Walk™ presented by Petplan® pet insurance on September 23rd, 2018.
The Friends for Life! Walk is a major fundraiser for the Ontario SPCA and participating Affiliate Societies that will take place in 13 communities across Ontario, including Barrie. Funds raised at the walk support programs and services provided by the Barrie Animal Centre to the community. There is also a “virtual” walk option for those unable to attend an event in person.
“The Friends for Life! Walk is a fun way for you to give back to your community by helping animals in need,” says Erin Beleskey, Community Development Coordinator, Barrie Animal Centre. “Even if you don’t have a pet, we encourage you to register now and starting raising funds for your local Ontario SPCA animal centre or humane society.”
More than just a fundraising walk, the Friends for Life! Walk is a fun-filled day that offers something for everyone. Highlights of the Barrie Animal Centre’s event, taking place at Sunnidale Park, include Agility demo and Fun with Fido course by Red Barn Event Centre, live music by 93.1, Smokes Poutine, prizes/give-a-ways and so much more! It’s the purr-fect way to spend a day with friends and family who share a love of animals.
“We can’t do this alone, which is why we need you to go the extra mile to help vulnerable animals,” says Beleskey. “By participating in the Friends for Life! Walk and collecting pledges, you are giving vulnerable animals the care and second chance they deserve.”
