Roundup of Million Paws Walk

Congratulations to Team Elly who won the Nextra Chermside Newsagency ‘Top Fundraiser’ award for 2014! They were recognised as the No. 1 fundraiser in Queensland as well as No. 2 in Australia with a total of $5,410 donated to the charity. Well done and thank you to all who participated and supported the RSPCA’s exceptional work this year.

We would like to share the heartfelt message Team Elly sent to our staff here at Nextra Chermside Newsagency:

Thank you so much for your support of this deserving cause; we really felt special winning your cups for the last 3 years and they have always been exhibited at our victory BBQ after the event! Your cups go to their position in the pride of place in my office: on top of my book shelf. I feel really encouraged that businesses like yours and those who supported our fundraising efforts still exist in our community.

Did you know :

  • $30 provides shelter and care for a neglected dog?
  • $50 helps to provide heating for a kennel during the cold winter months?
  • $150 will desex a kitten awaiting adoption?
  • $240 provides vaccinations and microchipping for cats and dogs to ensure that they always find their way home?

We hope you will continue to support animal welfare through the RSPCA with your generous donations.
