Fundraising

In order to support our costs of helping animals in times of disaster, we are always seeking unique and fun opportunities for fundraising.

THE COOKIE WALK

Every December in Penticton, CDART holds a cookie sale which we call the Cookie Walk.

Volunteers bake many assorted varieties of cookies which buyers can select and mix and pay for by the pound/kilogram. This fundraiser has proven to be extremely popular and has now become a tradition amongst many followers.

CRITTERAID MUTT STRUT

CDART volunteers are offered the benefit of raising money for their team through the Critteraid Mutt Strut. The first Saturday every June, as part of Summerland's Action Festival, Mutt Strutters meet in Summerland and submit their pledges for themselves and their dog. Sometimes, they can even borrow a dog to walk with. The Mutt Strut is a very popular part of the Action Festival Parade and pledgers reaching more than $25 will receive a Critteraid T-shirt and a bandana for their dog. The dogs love hearing the cheers as they walk along the parade route!
